Art Of Melody Music & Burning Minds Music Group are proud to announce the signing of Backlash, a brand new, exciting AOR sensation, hailing from Italy.
Backlash was founded in 2015 after a meeting between guitarist / mastermind Andrea Frighi, and singer Massimo Ordine (ex Perfect View). The duo began writing original music inspired by their favorite acts, Survivor, Bad English, Giant and Journey. In 2023, Angelo Franchini (Crying Steel) joined as third band member, which laid the stone for the band's definitive line-up. Skilled studio guests, Massimiliano Mosci, Luigi Bellanova and Mirco Zuffa joined for the recording sessions.
Their debut album, "Time To Impact", was recorded, mixed, and mastered by Roberto Priori (Danger Zone, Wheels Of Fire, Raintimes, Michele Luppi, StreetLore), resulting in a smooth-but-powerful melodic rock sound. World-renowned vocalist Lee Small (The Sweet, Shy, Skyscraper, Phenomena, Lionheart) joined the band as a special guest in one song, putting the icing on the cake of an undeniable, quality work.
Backlash are sure to become one of the most interesting newcomers of the current AOR/melodic rock scene, thanks to their fascinating approach and a talented line-up of musicians.
Info on an official release date, track list, cover artwork and more will be released in the forthcoming weeks.
