Danger Zone – Shut Up! (CD)
new & sealed jewel case CD
release date & first day of shipping: September 20th, 2024
Label: Pride & Joy Music
"Shut Up!", the newest output of Italian hard rockers around Giacomo Gigantelli (v) und Roberto Priori (g), combine fine guitars with massive keyboards and powerful vocals. Just imagine a dynamic mixture of BLACK DIAMONDS and SKYLARK or WHEELS OF FIRE and MICHAEL SCHENKER and add some fresh songwriting. Album number five in total once again is an exciting inbetween of hard rock, AOR and some melodic metal bits and pieces and in addition to that, all but old-fashioned in terms of production. "Tell Me The Truth" or "I'll Make It Right" immediately stick in your ear. Wow! (MS)

Danger Zone, one of the most popular, veteran Italian Hard Rock bands, began their musical journey in the early 1980s. After releasing several demos and undergoing numerous line-up changes, they debuted with their EP, "Victim Of Time," in 1984 and four more studio albums to follow (“Line Of Fire” recorded in 1989 but released in 2011); “Undying” (2012), “Closer To Heaven” (2016) and “Don’t Count On Heroes” (2019).
The pandemic in 2020/21 hindered the band's ability to fully promote their album, leading to a temporary hiatus. They reconvened in 2022, resuming live performances and writing sessions. During this time, they decided to return to a sound reminiscent of the golden era of American melodic hard rock, characterized by catchy choruses, loud guitars, pounding drums, and dreamy keyboards. This new chapter in their musical journey is encapsulated in their upcoming album, "Shut Up!," set for release on September 20, 2024, by Pride & Joy Music.
The album's first single, "Evil," precedes the release, showcasing the band's commitment to standing out while staying true to their unique style and will be released in advance on July 26th, 2024!
