Hard rock group CoreLeoni, founded by Gotthard guitarist Leo Leoni, issued debut full-length studio album The Greatest Hits – Part 1 on February 23rd, 2018 through Frontiers Music Srl.
Leo Leoni commented: “On the 25th anniversary of the release of the first Gotthard album, I wanted to pay tribute to songs like ‘Downtown’, ‘Firedance’, ‘Higher’, ‘Here Comes The Heat’, ‘In The Name’, ‘Ride On…’, ‘Let It Be’ and ‘All I Care For’. Songs that with Gotthard we have kind of left aside. We’ve re-recorded, refreshed, and ‘re-brushed’ them in a respectful way. These songs are very dear to me and they are part of a period that will remain forever with me.”
“This CoreLeoni project made me feel so many emotions and memories, filling my heart with joy,” he continued. “I hope hearing these new versions gives all the Gotthard fans, especially the ones who knew and loved the band in the early days, the same great emotions that it has brought to me.”
