Bio:
Heartline was a melodic heavy metal / melodic hard rock band from Siegen in Germany, formed in 1989.Not to be confused with Heartlyne from West Berlin (Hard Rock/AOR from the mid-to-late '80s, with ex-members of Dark Avenger and Devil's Soldiers).Only one album in discography "Gentlemen Agreement" (1991) through 1MF Recordz.A melodic act from Siegen, that sadly released their only album a bit too late and disappeared rather unrecognized.Heartline was founded in 1989 or either late '88 and acquired a good reputation as live act in the following years. Their album was recorded in 1990 and released February '91 on the 1MF Recordz label. Heartline's music combined both the Melodic Metal and melodic Hard rock stuff, sounding in places like Helloween during their most successful phase, which also has be to ascribed to Jojo Webers impressive vocal performance.But Heartline wasn't just focussed on the speed stuff, they either delivered the complete program by either playing songs like "Too late" f.e., that sounded quite US american influenced with commercial hints. So between slightly glammy US Metal, a small dose of japanese Metal and teutonic speedy Power Metal, there was a huge stylisitical width that Heartline's "Gentlemen agreement" offered. Nevertheless, the band either dissolved quickly afterwards, because 1991 wasn't the correct year for their kind of Metal.
Album:
Rare debut and last full-length album.Solid German heavy/hard rock.They remind me a little of Lawdy, except without those horrid vocals.This guy has a strong accent for lovers of European hard rock,I recommend picking up a copy, for the completist.Reminds me also of a weaker version of Pink Cream 69 'One size fits all' era.A very elusive German hard rock release, featuring vocals by Jojo a well known name in German hard rock circles.They will appeal to fans of early BONFIRE, LEATHERWOLF and VICE with those background gang vocals to top it all off.
