The hard rock quintet who bring the finest European ingredients to their no-nonsense rock ‘n’ roll – will release Days Of Thunder on Silver Lining Music on July 4th. Joe Stump’s supreme six-string shredding skills are known throughout the rock and metal scenes, both as the lead guitarist of Alcatrazz and as the shred specialist associate Professor at the Berklee College of Music in Boston, Massachusetts, and having torn new earholes with their 2017 debut Lake of Fire, Stump & co take it a step further and higher with 10 glorious slices of riff-driven, Rainbow/Deep Purple styled anthems.

Along with the soaring vocals of Jo Amore, the tight-fist-drumming of Mark Cross, the multi-dimensional Mistheria (aka The Maestro) on keyboards, and Nic Angileri nailing down the rhythms on bass guitar, Stump has once again prevailed in bringing heavy, energetic, yet gloriously melodic music to the table with a style and panache rarely seen in 2025.“All of my influences are the classic European hard rock masters, whether it’s Ritchie Blackmore, Michael Schenker or Gary Moore.” offers Stump. “Naturally, the record gives a modern take on those classic sounds and is more of a hard rock album than it is a metal record.

”Released today, the title track and both singles  ‘Days Of Thunder’ and ‘Rules of Silence’ propel themselves off with typically blistering Stump riffs which shimmer with dazzling technique, Jo’s great vocals, Mark’s killer playing and of course The Maestro destroying on the keys, it all matches up perfectly!” Watch/Listen to both singles, ‘Days Of Thunder’ & ‘ Rules of Silence’ here – videos by Very Metal Art.
On Days of Thunder, songs such as ‘Sacrifice’ and ‘The Princess’ dance the edge of speed and classic fireball rocking, the latter allowing some outrageous solos to unfold from both Mistheria and, of course, Stump, who proudly re-establishes his pedigree as one the world’s best axesmiths. 

The mysterious and hazy groove of hip-swinger ‘Alone In The Desert’ is a smokey backbeat dragging you into its soulful swagger. All in all, taking a ride with Days Of Thunder is a Jedi mind trick of vintage sounds with ultra-fresh and vibrant sensibilities that will transport you back to the Hammersmith Odeon and the days when unabashed hard rockin’ talent, power, colour, and flare were celebrated and venerated.
