Do you remember when German bands cranked out true, classic melodic rock/hard rock albums regularly? When, right after masterpieces by the likes of the Scorpions, releases like Bonfire’s Point Blank or Fireworks, Frontline’s Heroes, Casanova and Jaded Hearet’s debut albums used to be played all the time on your stereo?

Well... now is the time for the classic German hard rock sound, comprised of steel guitar riffs and super melodic hooks, to make a major come back. The new band's name says it all - Supremacy. This band marks the return of the amazing alliance between singer Claus Lessmann (ex-Bonfire) with Michael Voss (Casanova, Mad Max) plus Robby Boebel (ex-Frontline, Evidence One) on guitar, Axel Kruse (ex-Jaded Heart) on drums and former Scorpions bass player Francis Buchholz (pictured above).

The guys are currently working on some extremely promising demo material and have inked a recording contract with Frontiers Music Srl for a release of their debut album in late 2015 / early 2016.

 

 

Michael Voss says: "It's a honour to work with all these gifted musicians on a full length album! After 25 years, to join forces with the fantastic Claus Lessmann takes me back into the 80’s heyday times playing in Bonfire. We'll keep that spirit alive and moreover revive it. Thanks to Serafino and Frontiers for believing!"

Claus Lessmann adds: "I am really looking forward to writing, recording and rocking with all the guys of Supremacy. We all have so much to give and it really means a lot to me to work together with those talented musicians. It will also bring back the good old days of rock ’n’ roll when my good old friend Michael Voss was on my side all across Europe back at the Point Blank days. A big Grazie to Serafino, Mario and all at Frontiers for their belief and for givin’ us one more reason to rock! Every little note of our songs will be a piece of our heart."
