Hardline / Leaving The End Open (2009)


A good comeback from Hardline. The band that back in 1992 released one of the best melodic hard rock albums ever ,the "double eclipse". They released a second effort which was bad, titled "II" in 2002. This time the guys delivering a great album. More mature than ever, combine their old glory days with some modern hard rock sound and the result is very good, and I have to admit in some parts it's excellent!!
Some great riffs and solos here by Mr. Josh Ramos ( a very good and underrated guitar player) and with the incredible voice of Johnny Gioeli ,who is in great shape, the album sounds strong and fresh without loosing the hardline trademarks.
Highlights here are :  "Voices" ,"Falling Free" ,"In This Moment" ,"Before This" and "Give in To This Love"
A top release for 2009.
