Another band new to me, but this is a great intro. DANGER ZONE from Italy, is another band that dates back to the 80s, but returned in the last decade. An easily likable hard rock release, with a bit of AOR, some keyboards, but really guitar driven & heavy, with a number of good riffs. The band’s melodic rock doesn’t soften much, and I like the vocals, kinda reminds me of Biff from Saxon at times. These guys wouldn’t have sounded out of place in the 80s LA ‘metal’ scene. Standout tunes being the first single “Evil”, lead off track “I Like It”, big 80s type anthem “I Don’t Care”, and closing rocker “Straight Down The Line”. Lots of cool stuff to check out here. Well worth checking out.

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.
