Frontiers Records is pleased to announce the release of KHYMERA’s second album “A New Promise” on December 5th 2005
Born as a studio project set to create a union between one of the historic voices of rock, Steve Walsh of KANSAS and one of the most talented multi-instrumentalists of today’s rock music scene, KHYMERA has now evolved into something more...
Still featuring the talents of Daniele Liverani (main performer and composer of the GENIUS rock opera), KHYMERA has now gathered a full band lineup with Dennis Ward of PINK CREAM 69 on vocals, drummer Dario Ciccioni (GENIUS) and new guitar sensation Tommy Ermolli.
Ward makes his absolute debut as lead singer with this album showcasing an incredible voice that will make one wonder how come this guy never take the mike in hand before playing bass! The first reactions after some mystery downloads appeared on the melodicrock.com website in July 05 were nothing short of amazing with comparisons drawn to Keith Slack of STEELHOUSE LANE, Mark Free and Billy Greer of SEVENTH KEY.
The songs are again gathered from some of the most outstanding writers in the melodic rock and AOR scene featuring the likes of Robin and Judithe Randall (“If You Dare To Dream”), Jeff Scott Soto (“You Can’t Take Me”), Don Barnes (“Looking For You” and “After The Way”), but the bulk of the album showcases the shining songwriting of brothers Tom and James Martin (ex SUGARTOWN), who penned songs for such artists as DO (“Angel By My Side”) and RONAN KEATING among others.
The final tracklisting shall be as follows:
A New Promise; Alone (click to hear an mp3 sample); Let It Burn (click to hear an mp3 sample); Looking For You (click to hear an mp3 sample); All That I Have; The Damage Is Done; After The Way (click to hear an mp3 sample); You Can’t Take Me (Away From You); Tomorrow Never Comes; Fields of Fire; If You Dare To Dream; Give In To The World; All Is Gone
Just like the first record was the very best melodic rock could offer, the new one showcases a rich and diverse songwriting along with great musicianship. The result is an enjoyable and riveting melodic rock record, set to please all the fans who enjoyed the first record and more !
Release in Japan is settled on Marquee/Avalon with further details on domestic releases in other territories to be announced at a later stage.
