REVIEW – Italian melodic rock champions LIONVILLE return November 15th with their sixth studio album, ‘Supernatural’, via Frontiers Music Srl. It’s a soaring, feel-good collection of AOR gems that not only introduces new frontman Alexander Strandell (Art Nation), but also reaffirms the band’s position as one of the premier names in the modern melodic rock scene. This is the sound of renewal—fresh, polished, and full of passion.
From the first notes of “Heading for a Hurricane”, the band wastes no time pulling listeners into a swirling storm of melody and power. It’s an irresistible opener full of clap-along rhythms, infectious energy, and that signature LIONVILLE shine. The title track “Supernatural” follows with a vibrant hook that envelops you completely—Strandell’s vocals soaring over pristine guitar tones and lush keyboards.
“Gone” slows things down with emotional weight, its lead guitar sending shivers down your spine as you drift through daydreams. The focus single “Breakaway” is a high-energy highlight made for fist pumps and air guitar, loaded with AOR perfection. The emotional resonance carries into “The Right Time”, a soft-rock stunner that sinks into heartfelt reflection.
On “Nothing is Over”, the band delivers another melodic standout—catchy, clean, and totally immersive. “Unbreakable” continues the introspective journey, gliding on dreamy textures and nostalgic warmth. “The Storm” captures that classic sway-and-groove feeling, marrying silky guitar lines with majestic vocal phrasing.
As the album heads into its final stretch, “Another Life” revisits the ’80s in the best possible way—retro flair meets modern class. “The One” brings catchy riffs, stellar musicianship, and another vocal showcase by Strandell, while closer “Celebrate Our Life” wraps the album in pure AOR bliss—uplifting, emotional, and powerfully melodic.
‘Supernatural’ bridges LIONVILLE‘s celebrated past and an exciting new era with Strandell at the mic. With pristine production, impeccable songwriting, and heartfelt performances, this album solidifies the band’s place in the pantheon of melodic rock royalty.
