International melodic hard rock band Hardline issued fifth full-length studio album Human Nature on October 14th, 2016 through Frontiers Music Srl.
The outing was produced by Alessandro Del Vecchio.
Vocalist and founding member Johnny Gioeli commented: “The plan was to create an album that emulates the feeling of Double Eclipse (1992) combined with the dynamics of modern day rock. Very heavy and in your face, but still with hitting melodies. I have a tremendous amount of Axel Rudi Pell fans that know me for the way I deliver a metal song too. So yes, it’s definitely the heaviest we have done since the debut. I see this album as the perfect mix of styles.
“The guys put their heart and soul into their performances. You can hear the essence of every drum strike and the sweat hitting the drums shortly after. Do it again, Cesco! Harder, Harder! Josh, Anna and Ale wouldn’t stop until their fingers said ‘enough’ …and then, we did it again and again. That’s rock and roll man. Songs like ‘Where Will We Go From Here’, ‘Human Nature’ and ‘Take You Home’, to me they are the essence of what I love to sing and how I love to sing!”
Producer and Hardline keyboard player Alessandro Del Vecchio added: “As a producer I pushed everyone to squeeze these songs and put as much attitude as we could on tape. We wanted more of an in-your-face attitude than our softer albums. I think we understood we had something special in our hands when we finished ‘Take You Home’. Even if it’s the ballad of the album I guess it’s the focal point of the musical bond that Johnny and myself share with the whole band.”
