VIANA – Forever Free (2019)
Italian guitarist, songwriter and producer Stefano VIANA already caused a stir with his first album Viana (2017) which received very positive reviews. Following his passion with enthusiasm Stefano contacted singer and producer Bryan Cole (Giant, Steel City, solo artist) and started to work on new material. Alessandro Del Vecchio was the vocalist on the first album but this time Cole is at the mike stand for the new album “Forever Free“.
The music was recorded in the ‘good old days’ fashion and this has made a great impact on the end result as the musicians have bonded and made a richer sound.
This new album features some great musicians such as Terry Brock (Strangeways) and Anna Portalupi (Hardline, Terry Brock) and also boasts the talents of great American guitar player John Roth from Giant, Winger and Starship.
The 10 tracks we have here are all strong songs, there are no fillers here – just great melodic hard rock played with a passion and flair.
