Founded in Nuremberg in 1989, Frontline quickly established themselves as one of the genre's leading acts, built around the unmistakable voice of Stephan Kämmerer and a songwriting approach rooted in strong melodies, big hooks and album-oriented vision. Over the years, Frontline released a string of acclaimed albums including the genre-defining debut The State of Rock (1994), followed by Two Faced, Heroes, Right Attitude, Against the World, The Seventh Sign, Circles and Ultimate Salvation, earning an international reputation as one of Germany's most respected AOR exports. Their sound blends soaring vocals, melodic guitar work and polished production, inspired by the golden era of late '80s and early '90s hard rock, with a distinct European character. Following the passing of guitarist and songwriter Robby Böbel in 2022, "Rebirth" represents both a tribute to the band's legacy and a step forward into new creative territory. The album features the original singer Stephan Kämmerer alongside new guitarist and producer Christian Mühlroth, whose fresh energy and musical vision play a key role in shaping this new era of Frontline. Comprised of 14 brand-new AOR tracks, "Rebirth" delivers a direct, no-frills melodic rock approach, driven by anthemic, uplifting and sparkling choruses, emotional performances and confident songwriting. The singles "Two Tickets To The Afterglow," "Burning Horizon" and "After You're Gone" highlight the band's ability to balance classic AOR values with renewed intensity and focus. Rebirth is more than a comeback—it is a reaffirmation of Frontline's identity and a celebration of melody, emotion and the timeless spirit of AOR, reborn for today and ready for the future.
