Sunstorm - 'Hope's Last Stand' (official lyric video)

In the shadows of despair, where echoes linger long
A flicker in the darkness, a heartbeat strong
Battered by the tempest but refusing to break

Through the thunder, through the night
In the wreckage seeking light
A rebel dream a final stand
Hope rises takes command

This is Hope's Last Stand
In the ruins of despair
This is Hope's Last Stand
Against the odds we'll make our stand

Broken dreams and shattered schemes, the world in disarray
A whisper in the silence hope will find its way

Defying all the darkness we will confide.

Through the tempest, through the strife
We'll endure and claim our life
A warrior's cry, across the land
Hope rises, takes its stand.

Through the thunder, through the night
In the wreckage seeking light
A rebel dream a final stand
Hope rises takes command

This is Hope's Last Stand
In the ruins of despair
This is Hope's Last Stand
Against the odds we'll make our stand

In the wreckage of what's lost
Where shadows dance and play
Chasing doubts away

This is Hope's Last Stand
In the ruins of despair
This is Hope's Last Stand
Against the odds we'll make our stand

This is Hope's Last Stand
In the ruins of despair
This is Hope's Last Stand
Against the odds we'll make our stand

Το συγκρότημα Sunstorm δημιουργήθηκε το 2006 από τον Joe Lynn Turner. Για κάποιον λόγο προ τετραετίας βρέθηκε εκτός του μουσικού σχήματος (που ο ίδιος δημιούργησε) και οι Sunstorm συνέχισαν (και συνεχίζουν) με τον Ronnie Romero στα φωνητικά).

Έν έτει 2024 η μπάντα άλλαξε ριζικά (πλην Ronnie προφανώς) και μας παρουσίασε το νέο της πόνημα, το οποίο φέρει τον τίτλο "Restless Fight" και κυκλοφόρησε προ μηνός (22 Νοεμβρίου 2024) σε cd και βινύλιο μέσω της δισκογραφικής εταιρείας Frontiers Music srl.

Ακούμε τον Ronnie Romero στα φωνητικά, τον Andrea Arcangeli στο μπάσο, τον Alfonso Mocerino στα τύμπανα, τον Aldo Lonobile στην κιθάρα και τον Antonio Agate στα πλήκτρα.

Δελτίο τύπου: «Sunstorm changed its skin with the new album "Restless Fight", the third to feature lead vocalist Ronnie Romero (Rainbow, MSG, Lords of Black etc.).

Romero’s debut album with Sunstorm, “Afterlife” was released in early 2021 and showcased a rejuvenation of Sunstorm's previous musical formula, mixing Melodic Rock / AOR with more '70s oriented hard rock, ala Rainbow (for which Romero performed as singer).

The new line-up that backs Romero, comes from a heavy background, featuring Aldo Lonobile (Secret Sphere, Ring Of Fire, Sweet Oblivion) on guitars, Andrea Arcangeli (DGM) on bass, Alfonso Mocerino (ex-Temperance, Virtual Simmetry) on drums and Antonio Agate (one of the most talented Italian keyboard players and arranger for symphonic orchestras, featured in countless albums) on keyboards, brings back the Sunstorm’s classic AOR / Hard Rock formula with a strongest dose of energy, reaching a more dynamic and bombastic approach.

Since the inception of the new album’s production, the discussion with the new producer and songwriter Aldo Lonobile centered on the concept to keep the roots of Sunstorm’s musical style: the AOR sound of the early records that everyone wanted, but with a special attention to the 80’s way to arrange the guitars and keys in order to reach more powerful vibrations.

The aim was to give a fresh appeal to the new music so that it could be the perfect foundation for Romero, that with his powerful vocal style, once again is the perfect fit to deliver the goods for the music.

The result is “Restless Fight”: an album where Ronnie’s vocal acrobatics sit perfectly into Lonobile’s way to play guitars, clearly influenced by the 80’s guitar heroes such as Jake E. Lee / Steve Stevens, to name a few. “Restless Fight” stands pretty tall in its own right and Sunstorm are here to stay with a lot more to say!»
