LORDS
OF BLACK is the band fronted by in demand vocalist Ronnie Romero, renowned
guitarist Tony Hernando, monster drummer Andy C and new bassist Dani Criado.
The
guys originally got together after the farewell tour of Tony and Andy’s
previous band, Saratoga. Tony and Andy decided to join forces with one of the
best singers of the underground scene in Spain, the Chilean born, Ronnie
Romero. The vision was to form a metal band with a modern approach, yet be
catchy, melodic and progressive. After months of intense and hard work on the
songs, the band released their acclaimed self-titled debut album independently
in 2014. Metal Hammer Spain deemed it: “The Best Metal
album released in Spain this year”.
Then
the news of Ronnie Romero joining the new incarnation of Ritchie Blackmore’s
Rainbow was revealed. This brought the band to the attention of the
international media and music fans. In particular, the words of Ritchie
Blackmore describing Romero’s voice as a “cross between Ronnie James Dio and Freddie Mercury” piqued
hard rock and heavy metal journalists and fans’ interest.
The
band signed on with Frontiers for the release of their second album, “II”, an album
which blew the minds of fans of modern melodic metal. Co-produced, mixed and
mastered by Roland Grapow (Masterplan, ex-Helloween), “II” was an album
chock full of superbly crafted songs that gave further credence to the band’s
immense talent.
In the time since, Ronnie made his live debut with Rainbow to much critical acclaim, partnered up with Magnus Karlsson (Primal Fear) on the new band The Ferrymen, and most recently, was enlisted by legendary Gotthard guitarist Leo Leoni to front his new project, CoreLeoni. Now that even more of the world is aware of Ronnie’s incredible talents, the time couldn’t be more perfect for Lords Of Black to unveil their newest metal masterpiece, “Icons Of The New Days”!
