AOR/Melodic rock quintet SUNSTORM is excited to share the official video for "I'll Stand for You", the first single from their upcoming third album, Restless Fight, set for release on November 22, 2024, via Frontiers Music Srl.
Ronnie Romero expressed his enthusiasm for the album, by saying:
"I really love the new album! I believe it keeps the SUNSTORM essence with an AOR base, but brings a fresh more guitar-oriented and heavier sound. The new song 'I'll Stand For You' is the perfect example, where the melodies are still very important. It was fantastic to work with Aldo for the first time and I believe the fans are going to like the album very much!"
SUNSTORM is a project created, overseen, and directed by Serafino Perugino, President of Frontiers Records, and it was originally designed to showcase a musical style similar to singer Joe Lynn Turner's Melodic Rock/AOR roots.

With the new album Restless Fight, the third to feature Ronnie Romero, SUNSTORM changed its skin. The new line-up that backs Romero, comes from a heavy background.
On guitars, Aldo Lonobile, musician, songwriter and producer (Geoff Tate's Sweet Oblivion, Archon Angel feat. Zak Stevens, Ring Of Fire feat. Mark Boals), Andrea Arcangeli (from the Italian progressive metal band DGM) on bass, Alfonso Mocerino (ex-Temperance, Virtual Simmetry) on drums and Antonio Agate (one of the most talented Italian keyboard players and arranger for symphonic orchestras, featured in countless albums) on keyboards. It brings back the classic SUNSTORM AOR/Hard Rock formula with a strong dose of energy, reaching a more dynamic and bombastic approach.
Since the inception of the new album's production, discussions have centered on the concept of keeping the roots of SUNSTORM's musical style: the AOR sound of the early records that everyone wanted, but with special attention to the 80s way of arranging the guitars and keys to reach more powerful vibrations. The aim was to give a fresh appeal to the new music so that it could be the perfect foundation for Romero, who with his powerful vocal style, is the ideal fit to deliver the goods for the music.
The result is Restless Fight, an album where Ronnie's vocal acrobatics sit perfectly into Lonobile's way to play guitars, clearly influenced by the 80's guitar heroes such as Jake E. Lee/Steve Stevens, to name a few.
Restless Fight stands pretty tall in its own right and SUNSTORM is here to stay with a lot more to say!
