Album:

Frontiers Music Srl will release the second album from the melodic progressive metal masters LORDS OF BLACK on March 18, 2016.LORDS OF BLACK is the band formed by world-class singer Ronnie Romero, renowned guitarist Tony Hernando and monster drummer Andy C. Their vision was to form a metal band with a modern approach blended with catchy, melodic and progressive elements.After months of intense and hard work on the songs, LORDS OF BLACK independently released its acclaimed self-titled debut which was co-produced by Roland Grapow (MASTERPLAN, ex-HELLOWEEN). Metal Hammer Spain deemed it "the best metal album released in Spain this year."LORDS OF BLACK supported the release with a series of very successful live shows, some of them as "very special guest" for high-profile international acts. Then the news of Ronnie Romero joining the new incarnation of RAINBOW broke out. This brought the band to the attention of the international media, with RAINBOW legend Ritchie Blackmore describing Romero's voice as "a cross between Ronnie James Dio and Freddie Mercury."However, now LORDS OF BLACK are ready to conquer the world with "II", an album which will blow the minds of fans of modern melodic metal. Once again co-produced, mixed and mastered by Roland Grapow, the disc is not only the follow-up to LORDS OF BLACK's outstanding and acclaimed debut album, but is an album with superbly crafted songs that will instantly become absolute metal classics."The new album, being the follow-up to a first record that was so greatly received, had to get to a higher place," says Tony Hernando. "After an intense year of writing and producing, along with the live performances, we came up with songs that are still deep and complicated in some arrangements, but have been written with the live performance in mind… The quest was to come up with something that artistically was meaningful for us as musicians and at the same time could catch the attention of the listeners. We really hope you enjoy this new album and come with us for a great ride!"Tracks like "Merciless", "Everything You're Not", "Insane", "New World's Coming" and "Shadows Of War" showcase the heavy and complex yet very melodic style of the band. The song "The Art of Illusions Part III: The Wasteland" is the conclusion to the trilogy that commenced on the debut album, while the song "Cry No More" is inspired and dedicated to the late, great, Phil Lynott.Check out a trailer for the album below.Regarding how he landed the RAINBOW gig, the Chilean-born Romero told Rafabasa.com: "I don't know from how long they had me on their list, but they contacted me some months ago, at the beginning of summer, to tell me about a chance to an audition . I deeply remember that 'day one' and that first 'hi,' been doing your daily activities and receive an email from Ritchie Blackmore himself is quite hard to assimilate, after a few days days, even weeks."Romero also talked about Ritchie's recent description of his vocal style as "a cross between Ronnie James Dio and Freddie Mercury." He said: "I just think about how lucky I feel, not just to get the gig, but how the hell they found me. Having so many good singers worldwide. From the first contact, I just tried to give my best to get it. I always believed in myself, and with the support of my family and close friends, even more. About his words, I just can be thankful, he put the bar quite high with his description. [Laughs] But I'm also glad with his confidence on me to this huge task."

Album:

After two critically acclaimed albums, the self-titled debut and the sophomore album “II”, it was time for Lords Of Black to craft their all important third album. With the anticipation created by the album’s predecessors and vocalist Ronnie Romero’s selection as the singer for Ritchie Blackmore’s Rainbow reunion, expectations are high and the pressure is on for the band to deliver. Have they?“Icons Of The New Days” is more than enough proof that yes, the band has indeed delivered in spades! Lords Of Black has crafted a collection of amazing songs that draw from the influences of traditional heavy metal with elements of progressive metal thrown in the mix with a robust production showcasing all the members' talents. Guitarist Tony Hernando, drummer Andy C., bassist Dani Criado and vocalist Ronnie Romero are indeed a rising force to be reckoned with in the modern metal scene.Tracks like the incredible album opener “World Gone Mad” along with “Not In A Place Like This” and the title track set the bar high for an album that is going to be a contender for metal album of the year. “Forevermore” and “The Way I’ll Remember” are simply stunning and powerful metal tunes such as “When A Hero Takes A Fall” and “Wait No Prayers For The Dying” will cause you to thrust your fist to the sky. As has become the band’s tradition, epic songs like “King’s Reborn” and “All I Have Left”, the longest song ever written by Lords Of Black, anchor the proceedings.Once again produced by Tony Hernando and Roland Grapow (who also handled mixing and mastering duties), the production and quality of the song arrangements are another decisive factor in the greatness on display here. Last but not least, Felipe Machado has delivered another stunning album cover. Fasten your seatbelts and enjoy “Icons Of The New Days”, an album that will ultimately prove to be an iconic chapter in this band’s history.

Album:

Lords Of Black is a metal band originally formed by two world-class Spanish musicians: vocalist Ronnie Romero (Rainbow, Vandenberg) and renowned guitarist Tony Hernando. The new album "Alchemy Of Souls" showcases the band's fondness for the legendary artists and albums that are the blueprint of the genre, while also highlighting a songwriting that incorporates modernity into the overall sound."Alchemy Of Souls" also represents a reunion of sorts as Romero took a hiatus from the band during 2019. Hernando auditioned several new singers and even appeared live with a line-up featuring two well-respected singers: Diego Valdes (Dream Child) and Dino Jelusick (Animal Drive). Simultaneously, Hernando kept working on new songs for the next LOB album, working incredibly hard to create music that pushed him past the boundaries of anything the band had done in the past. In 2020, Hernando decided to send the music he was working on to Romero and such was the quality of the material that he immediately wanted to be part of it and agreed to come back and front LOB once again. "Alchemy Of Souls" represents a rejuvenated, inspired and hungry Lords Of Black, ready to ascend to the upper tiers of European melodic metal."Alchemy Of Souls" is an album not to be missed if you like bands such as Masterplan and Symphony X as well as the legends of genre like Iron Maiden. An absolute delight for the ears and another classic in the making!Upon the 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 the acclaimed self-titled debut in 2014, which was co-produced by Roland Grapow.

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 (Masterplan, ex-Helloween), the album created a stir in the scene and is still regarded as a true 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."Alchemy Of Souls" somehow manages to best the seemingly unbeatable predecessors it follows and is a new gold standard for melodic metal.

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.

Album:

Renowned for their mastery of prog-power, Lords Of Black are set to captivate audiences once again with their sixth studio album, Mechanics Of Predacity, slated for a global release via Frontiers Music on March 15.This monumental release marks a pinnacle in the band's evolution, seamlessly fusing power, epic grandeur, and intense musicality with a profound narrative woven through evocative lyricism. Tony Hernando's exceptional musical composition, Ronnie Romero's emotive vocals, and the formidable rhythm section of bassist Dani Criado and drummer Jo Nunez converge in this release, a testament to the band's artistic prowess.Dive into the world of prog-power with new single and video "For What Is Owed To Us". Watch the video below.Tony Hernando shares insights into the album, describing the opening track as a "cool, fast, full-on metal song." The lyrics delve into themes of retribution, standing for truth, and resisting the onslaught of lies and intimidation. In a world tainted by power-hungry individuals, the song carries a message of hope anchored in the resilience of one true and honest soul.Mechanics Of Predacity embarks on a profound exploration of humanity's primal instinct - PREDACITY. From the earliest days of humble animal and tribal existence to the complex dynamics of modern society, the album meticulously navigates the relentless nature of human predation.The narrative unfolds as a contemplation of how individuals, tribes, nations, and entities engage in an unending cycle of predation. It fearlessly addresses the harsh reality that greed, power, and malevolence have consistently fuelled conflicts throughout history.Yet, amidst the shadows, a counterforce emerges—a struggle waged by love, kindness, and humanity. This eternal conflict between oppressors and the oppressed, predators and victims, is encapsulated in the poignant observation that "the weak ones seem to be just the meat for the strong ones to eat". "Mechanics Of Predacity" transcends being a mere album; it stands as a lyrical and musical expedition into the very essence of human existence. Here, the tension between predator and prey serves as both a lament and a call for redemption.The album is produced by Tony Hernando, with mixing and mastering by Roland Grapow.
