Backbone

Ronnie Romero's Backbone album is a thunderous triumph that cements his status as a powerhouse in the hard rock and metal pantheon. Bursting forth with ten electrifying original tracks, the album pulses with raw energy and unyielding intensity, from the blistering title opener that hooks you with its riff-driven fury to the soaring melodies of 'Eternally' and 'Bring The Rock' Romero's voice - rich, commanding, and evocative of legends like Dio and Halford—reaches new heights here, delivering impassioned performances that blend classic metal grit with modern flair.

Collaborations with guitar maestro Kee Marcello and songwriting icon Russ Ballard elevates the material, infusing gems like 'Hideaway (Run)' with timeless hooks, while the thunderous title track 'Backbone' adds a nod to Romero's deep-rooted influences. Produced with precision and mixed to perfection by Jose Rubio, Backbone roars with a sonic backbone that's as robust as it is exhilarating.

What truly sets Backbone apart is its fearless authenticity, a bold evolution from Romero's prior works that feels like a personal manifesto of resilience and rock 'n' roll defiance. Tracks like 'Lost In Time' and 'Lonely World' weave introspective lyrics with anthemic choruses, creating moments of profound emotional resonance amid the headbanging chaos.

This isn't just an album; it's a rallying cry for fans craving genuine heavy metal revival, executed with Romero's tireless passion and impeccable craft. Whether you're a longtime devotee of his Rainbow or Lords of Black days or a newcomer drawn to its infectious vitality, Backbone demands repeated spins - it's the kind of record that reignites your inner fire and leaves you craving more.
