One of the names that came up during the conversation of the two Classic Rock fans was Stefan Berggren. The distinctive sound of the voice of the former lead singer of Snakes In Paradise and Company Of Snakes was missed by both of them and surely quite a few more followers of the Swedish vocalist and the bands he sang in. Shortly after the exchange of some ideas for the new project Alessandro contacted Stefan who immediately expressed interest in a cooperation. During the fall and winter of 2011 / 2012 an album began to take shape with Stefan submitting some of his own compositions to the pool of 20 songs for the record that also included song contributions from Alessandro and his writing partners Paul Logue (Eden s Curse) Carmine Martone and Francesco Marras. The final song selection made by executive producer Gregor Klee sets great store in delivering a track list of the highest order for all lovers of Classic Hard Rock with a touch of Melodic Rock and AOR. With Alessandro Del Vecchio (Edge Of Forever Hardline Lionville Fergie Frederiksen) in the producer s seat all of the songwriters also took part in the recording sessions performing as a band on each tune of the record. Carmine Martone and Francesco Marras delivered some smokin hot guitar work with amazing solos Paul Logue provided the bass tracks and Francesco Jovino (U.D.O. Sapphire Eyes Hardline Skill In Veins) layed down the solid drum groove. Alessandro who was of course also responsible for the keyboards and some mean Hammond B3 playing also invited Voodoo Circle main man Alex Beyrodt (Sinner Primal Fear) to bring the marvelous quot;Ain t Gonna Give My Heart Awayquot; a particular highlight of the album to another level. As guests on guitar Stefan brought in his former Snakes In Paradise colleagues Stefan Jonsson and Thomas Jacobson as well as Marcus Jidell (Royal Hunt Dougie White Alfonzetti). The recording debut of Revolution Road with it s magnificent production of a terrific variety of songs and the more than solid musical performances by seasoned players is the very welcome return of Stefan Berggren a high class Rock shouter who is finall.
