Bio:
Lords Of Black, the band formed by World class singer Ronnie Romero, renowed guitarist Tony Hernando and monster drummer Andy C. is now not only the band who made one of the best debut albums in Metal in the last years, but the new sensation with a new album coming out Worldwide with Frontiers Records.Lords Of Black made an impact with their debut album, a great mix of modern sounding Metal meets Classic Hard Rock, with excelent melodies, hooks, interesting and progressive elements and great lyrics. Their live performances made them gain even more reputation among fans, media and international scene, but it was at the end the production of their new album when the news run like fire: legend Ritchie Blackmore announces his comeback to Rock with a new Rainbow line up featuring Ronnie Romero as lead singer. This is a total “game changer”, making Lords Of Black globally discovered and landing a record deal with Frontiers Records with a worldwide release date for the new album on March 2016.
RONNIE ROMERO (VOCALS) - Ronnie Romero was born and rised in Chile in a Protestants family of musicians, and started singing at the age of 7 in a gospel choir.After being introducted to Rock music he soon realises he wants to be a Rock-Metal Singer, developing a strong and powerful singing style melting together the best of his favourite singers and influences such Ian Gillan, David Coverdale, Steve Perry and his beloved Ronnie James Dio.Ronnie moves to Spain in 2011 and soon developes his music career along renowned musicians and collaborating with many other bands of different styles.After meeting and working with Tony Hernando for the very first time in a big Dio Tribute Concert which took place in 2013, and after the events when both Ronnie and Tony were free of their musical commitments, they meet up and decided to form a new band under the name of Lords Of Black.
TONY HERNANDO (GUITAR) - Tony Hernando is one of the most exciting Rock guitarists in Europe today.With five solo releases, including his acclaimed “III”, the stunning DVD “TH III Live!”, and his latest and strongest release to date “Actual events”, Tony has been also the guitarist for the very popular Spanish Metal band Saratoga for the last 7 years, recording 3 studio albums and a Live Dvd/Cd and Touring non stop ever since.Tony has performed live, recorded and worked with some of the finest musicians in business Mike Terrana, Andy Timmons, Joey Tafolla, Richie Kotzen, William Stravato, Jeremy Colson, Mattias Eklundh, etc…)
Album:
Spain's Lords Of Black is set to return in 2021 with a new album, the follow-up to 2020's well-received "Alchemy Of Souls, Pt. I". The new album, "Alchemy Of Souls, Pt. II" is a thematic continuation of the story started on the previous album. Musically, vocalist Ronnie Romero (Rainbow, Sunstorm, The Ferrymen) delivers a powerful vocal performance and guitarist Tony Hernando delivers some of the best melodic metal he has ever written. With the downtime created by the global pandemic, Hernando worked incredibly hard to create music that pushed past the boundaries of anything the band had done in the past. The new album is the logical successor to what has started on the last album and shows a new found musical maturity from the band, who incorporates several musical elements into its style."Alchemy Of Souls, Pt. II" enhances the perception that Lords Of Black is now ready to ascend to the upper tiers of European melodic metal. Heavier and darker compared to the album that preceded it, "Alchemy Of Souls, Pt. II" is an album not to be missed by both melodic metal and progressive metal fans alike. An absolute delight for the ears and another classic in the making from these Spanish masters.Upon its formation, Lords Of Black's vision was to form a metal band with a modern approach blended with catchy, melodic and progressive elements. After months of intense hard work on the songs, the band independently released its acclaimed self-titled debut in 2014, which was co-produced by Roland Grapow (Masterplan, Helloween).The band supported the release with a series of successful live shows, including guest spots for a variety of high profile international acts. Later, legendary guitarist Ritchie Blackmore (Deep Purple, Blackmore's Night) became aware of Ronnie Romero's vocal talents and invited him to front his, at the time, newly reformed Rainbow. This brought the band to the attention of international music media and in particular, the words from Blackmore describing Romero's voice like 'a cross between Ronnie James Dio and Freddie Mercury' piqued the curiosity of journalists and fans alike. While enjoying this new found attention, Romero and Hernando continued work on Lords Of Black and signed a worldwide deal with the Frontiers label. The first global release from the partnership was "II", an album which did and continues to blow the minds of fans of modern melodic metal.Once again, co-produced, mixed and mastered by Roland Grapow, the album created a stir in the metal scene and is still regarded as a true underground classic. The band played several European shows in support of the release and then headed back to the studio to create the follow-up album, "Icons Of The New Days". Upon its release, the album once again set a new standard for melodic metal with outstanding epic tracks mixed with glorious power/progressive metal songs.Like its predecessor, "Alchemy Of Souls, Pt. II" is setting a new gold standard for melodic metal in the new decade.
