That meanings can be different shows also Sleaze Metal. Get Jörg only from the seventh album „The Seventh Sign“ along pulled from Frontline, are they for me already since their debut album „The State Of Rock“ a german secrettap. The Frankenland founded formation with singer Stephan Kämmerer, guitarist and keyboarder Robby Boebel, bassplayer Thomas Riess and drummer Stephan Bayerlein exist already since 1989 and are to 100% risen to the melodic Hardrock. The State Of Rock finally came out 1994 and is a true classic which until today still is regarded as the finest album of the band by many. This record also meant the breakthrough for the guys in Japan where they reached # 10 in the rock sales charts. Straightly after the release, Frontline went on tour in Europe and had the honour to open for various great bands such as Gotthard, Crash Test Dummies, Bonfire, Tyketto and Casanova. Throw the disk in the player and you get served from beginning till the end with melodic rocksongs. The songs varies time to time from fast up to slow rhythms with strong guitar parts and very nice lyrics with easy noticing refrains. The songs pulls simply everyone with, even if you don´t want. Some people have seen also the video to the ballad „Another Love“ for sure, that was shown to that time at Headbangers Ball by MTV. The special at Frontline is also singer Stephan Kämmerer who lends the band their completely own flair to the sound. He can sing the higher and the deeper tones so sovereign with influences like steve perry which is very unusual. This album is typic melodic 80s Rock a la Journey, Danger Danger, Firehouse &Co.. For their first album a really good achievement, even if here and there still at some hit a corner is missing!
