Classic Hard Rock meets European Metal is how vocalist Johnny Gioeli describes this latest project ENEMY EYES. Gioeli harkens back to his pre-HARDLINE roots and adds a theatrical aspect to separate ENEMY EYES from the pack. Joining Gioeli on this new venture is Marcos Rodrigues (RAGE), Fabio Alessandrini (ANNIHILATOR), and Alessandro Del Vecchio (EDGE OF FOREVER).

Their debut album History’s Hand drops on November 18, 2020 through Frontiers Music. The new album also marks Gioeli’s 100th music recording release. I had the chance to speak with Johnny Gioeli ahead of the album’s release.
