On April 10th, 2025– American hard rock band Hardline announced that that they have signed with Steamhammer/SPV as well as creating their new album that will be released in spring of 2026!

“The time is right, not just for a new album, but also for a complete restart, not least with the support of an ambitious record company that’s always been 100 percent behind its bands. I’ve known SPV for over 25 years and appreciate how committed they are to their work. They always give their all for their artists. I’m looking forward to working with them and can’t wait to start recording our new album in spring 2025.” – Johnny Gioeli (Vocalist)

Gioeli promises his fans an album that couldn’t be more typical of HARDLINE, commenting:
“We’ve always had our own, unmistakable sound, that characteristic HARDLINE style, and that’s definitely not about to change. There will be no half-hearted experiments with me and my bandmates Alessandro Del Vecchio (keyboards), Luca Princiotta (guitars), Anna Portalupi (bass), and Marco Di Salvia (drums), everyone will get what they’ve come to expect from this band and have been familiar with since our ’92 debut classic Double Eclipse. We’ll get back to our children!”

Steamhammer label manager Olly Hahn is also delighted with this successful coup and looks forward to a promising collaboration:
“Obviously, there’s no need to explicitly go into Johnny Gioeli’s great qualities as a singer with Axel Rudi Pell, and he’s just as fantastic with his own band. HARDLINE stands for consistent excellence in the melodic rock genre, and I’m happy that this band is now part of the Steamhammer family!”
