Vocal powerhouse Ronnie Romero has released his bold and dynamic new solo album, ‘Backbone’, which is out now via Frontiers Music Srl. This ten track collection of heavy metal is a major step forward in Romero’s solo career, showcasing his vocal prowess and a powerful sound achieved by mixing and mastering from his longtime guitarist and collaborator, Jose Rubio Jimenez. Romero celebrated the release with the powerful title track single, “Backbone,” marking a triumphant return following the release of his ‘Live At Rock Imperium Festival’ this past May. The album also features special contributions from songwriting legend Russ Ballard and guitar hero Kee Marcello.
Romero expressed his enthusiasm for the project’s collaborative spirit, commenting: “I actually have to thank my dear friend Russ Ballard! He immediately said yes and sent a cool idea which ended up being the song ‘Hideaway.’ From there it was so easy to get inspired for the rest of the songs.” He continued, “Nothing would be possible without the help of my friend Jose Rubio, in the songwriting process and the wonderful job he did to get the powerful sound through all the album, since he took care of the mixing and mastering. I really believe it’s an important improvement from the previous album.” The album also boasts a thunderous cover of the Black Sabbath track “Devil And Daughter,” originally from their 1989 album ‘Headless Cross’, reimagined with Romero’s signature intensity.
