Info for So Close to Heaven

So Close To Heaven ist das fünfte Studioalbum einer der besten Melodic Rock/AOR-Bands. Lionville wurde 2010 von Stefano Lionetti, einem Songwriter, Sänger und Gitarristen aus Genua, Italien, und seinem Bruder Alessandro gegründet. Als Leadsänger engagierten sie niemand anderen als Lars Säfsund (Work Of Art, Enbound).

Seit er 2017 bei Frontiers unterschrieben hat, hat er sich zu einem der angesehensten Acts entwickelt, die sich dem reinen AOR auf der Liste des Labels verschrieben haben.Zwei besondere Highlights auf "So Close To Heaven" sind ein Duett zwischen Lars Safsund und dem verehrten Melodic-Rock-Sänger Robbie LaBlanc auf dem Track 'This Time' und das Cover der Band von Richard Marx' 'Arrow Through My Heart'." "So Close To Heaven" zeigt die anhaltende Gewinnkombination der Band aus starkem Songwriting, herausragender Musikalität und natürlich großartigem Leadgesang. Ein Muss für alle AOR/Melodic Rock Fans!

Lionville
Born as a project dedicated to pure AOR with a touch of Westcoast and melodic rock, LIONVILLE draw musical inspiration from acts like Toto, Richard Marx, Giant, Bad English, Survivor Band, and Boulevard. The band was started by Stefano Lionetti, a songwriter, singer, and guitarist based in Genova, Italy and his brother Alessandro. After years of playing the local club circuit of Genova, Stefano formed LIONVILLE Official with the encouragement and help of Pierpaolo “Zorro” Monti (Shining Line) and Alessandro Del Vecchio (Hardline, Revolution Saints, Ted Poley, etc.). With the involvement of singer Lars Säfsund (Work of Art), LIONVILLE quickly took shape and became something very near and dear to everyone involved.

With three critically acclaimed releases - which came out in 2011 and 2012 – Lionville managed to find their place in the European melodic rock scene while also appearing at Firefest in Nottingham in 2012. With their combination of rockin’ AOR tunes and classic Westcoast AOR sounds, Lionville piqued the interest of Frontiers, who signed the band in early 2016.

“It’s a very important record for LIONVILLE, since we are coming back after four years of silence,” says Stefano Lionetti. “I really wanted to make happy all the fans who waited so long for it. As a producer and songwriter I have done my best to create a high class record, but with the right variety. You will find classic Melodic Rock songs, a couple of ballads, songs in the style of the previous record and of course a lot of attention on the arrangements. I also wanted to have more of a band feel with this record and I am very proud of the final result.”

Recorded by a gifted cast of experienced studio cats and upcoming talents and produced by Stefano Lionetti, the new album, “A World Of Fools” finds a winning combination of very strong songwriting (courtesy also of Robert Sall, Alessandro Del Vecchio, Bruce Gaitsch, Soren Kronkvist, Gianluca Firmo, Thomas Vikstrom, and Ida West) and stellar musical performances, crowned by impressive lead vocals and an album mix that gives space to all the significant little details.

The LIONVILLE team has high hopes that people will embrace their vision of a reinvigorated musical genre and everyone is looking forward to continuing the LIONVILLE story with another awesome contribution to melodic rock music.
