Gioeli Castronovo
Johnny Gioeli and Deen Castronovo first
played together on the debut Hardline album, “Double Eclipse, which was released in 1992. 25 years later, the two were
reunited in Italy to commence work on the debut Gioeli-Castronovo album, “Set The World On Fire”.
Both men have continued on their musical
paths since they last saw one another, with Gioeli continuing to lead Hardline,
while Castronovo spent time with Ozzy Osbourne and had an extended tour of duty
with the legendary Journey. Castronovo is currently active with The Dead
Daisies and Revolution Saints in addition to Gioeli-Castronovo.
Gioeli’s vocal talents combined with Deen’s superb drumming abilities (and whom is also a fine vocalist in his own
right) has made for a stunning album that is driving a driving hard rock
record, while also chock full of uplifting melodies and poignant lyrical
messages.
We’d
tell you to sit back and enjoy this album, but you’ll be on your feet the second it starts, so stand up and take notice of
this display of two immense talents doing what they do best!
