Born as Supremacy, the new German Melodic Rock alliance, started when Michael Voss (Casanova, Bonfire, Mad Max) and Claus Lessmann (Bonfire) decided to approach the Frontiers label about making a new record together. Frontiers President Serafino Perugino loved the idea and suggested the guys should go ahead and involve some of the talented musicians that composed the Melodic Hard Rock scene in Germany between the end of the 90s and early 00s. In particolar, bands such as Jaded Heart and Frontline were mentioned (among others) and involving Robby Boebel (from Frontline) and Axel Kruse (from Jaded Heart) were the next steps and when the chance to involve none other than ex Scorpions bassist Francis Buchholz came up, no one could really say no! With five real aces on the pitch, the resulting album could not disappoint, so after being somehow forced to change their name into Phantom 5, the new album started to take shape. According to Michael Voss: For me it sounds like we did a follow up to the famous Bonfire ´Fireworks album with a touch of Frontline meets Jaded Heart groove it is a driving monster with huge walls of guitars, powerful soaking drums and fine catchy melodies we took a trip back into the world of the eighties!!! And indeed its been a long time since weve heard a Melodic Hard Rock record THIS GOOD coming from Germany. Think Bonfires Point Blank, Casanovas debut album, Frontlines Heroes, or Fair Warnings debut record and you have an idea of how this is going to hit you. Get ready to push the play button very often. This record has everything enjoy!
