Hardline "Human Nature"

Human Nature is the fifth album by American rock group Hardline with the modern line up featuring keyboardist Alessandro De Vecchio, bassist Anna Portalupi, Francesco Jovino on drums and returning guitarist Josh Ramos. Originally it was announced during 2015 through a Facebook Video on their fan page from Johnny Gioeli and was originally titled "Hardline 5", where they would be recording new songs "throughout the summer". It is the first Hardline album to feature returning guitarist Josh Ramos (who had returned to the band during their 2013 Danger Zone tour) replacing stand in guitarist Thorsten Koehne who previously played on Danger Zone. Ramos has not been featured on a Hardline record since 2009's Leaving the End Open.

During the making of the new Hardline record, lead singer Johnny Gioeli announced he was working on his first ever solo album called One Voice, where fans could support the album through the crowdfunding site Pledgemusic. During this time the new Hardline album title was announced to be called Human Nature.

On August 22, 2016, their label Frontiers Records released the new music video "Where Will We Go from Here". A new track "Take You Home" was revealed as a music video by Gioeli and released on the Frontiers YouTube page a few months later on October 3, 2016. which would later on be revealed as Gioeli's personal favourite song on the album. The new CD was released on October 14, 2016. Gioeli likes to compare Human Nature to the sound of their first release, Double Eclipse, but with a fresh new twist.

Hardline toured the new album starting from May 21, 2017, starting in Italy. During their May 23, 2017 show at The Robin 2, in Wolverhampton, England, they dedicated the song "Human Nature" to the victims of the 2017 Manchester Arena bombing which occurred a day before. They also celebrated the 25th anniversary of their debut album Double Eclipse by naming their new tour "Double Eclipse 25th Anniversary Tour" which also featured a mixture of new tracks from the new album Human Nature and a heavily focused set of songs from Double Eclipse. The next leg of the Human Nature tour was held through Germany and Switzerland during December 2017.

Hardline "Danger Zone"

Danger Zone is American rock band Hardline's fourth studio album, and their first since Leaving the End Open. Johnny Gioeli is the sole returning member from the Leaving the End Open lineup, and is joined by keyboardist and producer Alessandro Del Vecchio, guitarist Thorsten Koehne, bassist Anna Portalupi, and drummer Francesco Jovino. Danger Zone was released in Europe on May 18, 2012 and in America on May 22, both through Frontiers Records.

Unlike previous Hardline albums, Johnny Gioeli did not initiate the project, nor was he the primary songwriter. The project came to fruition when Alessandro Del Vecchio, a longtime fan of Hardline, of Eden's Curse and Edge of Forever wrote and composed songs with Gioeli's vocals specifically in mind, then proceeded to record demos to send to Frontiers Records president Serafino Perugino. Perugino, after listening to and approving the demos, sent them to Gioeli, who immediately became interested in reforming Hardline and recording the songs for a new album. Gioeli and Del Vecchio were joined by Thorsten Koehne, also of Eden's Curse, Anna Portalupi of Lionville, and Francesco Jovino, also of Edge of Forever.

Gioeli has noted that he plans for Hardline to be significantly more active than it has been since its revival in 2001, and that he and Del Vecchio began writing for a follow-up album during the summer and making plans for a tour to initiate during the winter of 2012. This marks the first time in the band's history that a second album will closely follow a release, as well as the band's first tour since 1992, and first live performances since Live at the Gods Festival 2002. Until further touring plans come to fruition, Hardline's only scheduled live performances are the Sweden Rock Festival on June 7, 2013 and the 2013 "FireFest" Melodic Rock Festival in Nottingham, UK from October 18–20. Axel Rudi Pell drummer Mike Terrana and returning Hardline guitarist Josh Ramos perform in place of Thorsten Koehne and Francesco Jovino.

Hardline "Leaving The End Open"

Leaving the End Open is the third studio album by the American rock group Hardline. This is their first album since 2002's II. The new line up for the album features two new band members, Jamie Brown on bass guitar and Atma Anur on drums. The album was released on April 17, 2009 in the UK and it was released in the USA on May 2, 2009.

The album was called 'Just Add Water' when it was in the works for seven years, beginning in 2004, but Johnny Gioeli gave the title tentatively while planning a different title. During early development in 2004, Rudy Sarzo was slated to record bass, as suggested by Michael T. Ross, but was unable to contribute due to a busy schedule consisting our touring with Yngwie Malmsteen and Ronnie James Dio. Joey Gioeli had also planned to contribute lyrics and rhythm guitar, but seemingly retired from the music industry to manage the Gioeli brothers' companies full-time. Leaving the End Open is the last of Hardline's albums produced by veteran studio man Bob Burch, as well as featuring keyboardist Michael T. Ross.

Japanese guitarist and video game musician Jun Senoue (from the band Crush 40, which also features Gioeli on vocals) is listed as a special guest in the song "Before This". He is credited for the guitar solo.

A Japanese bonus edition of the album was released and it contains a remix of the song "She Sleeps in Madness".

Eight known songs were to be included on the album, as revealed in 2006: "My Heart," "Hold On," a demo originally recorded by Hardline's predecessor, Brunette, "Hole in My Head," "Save Me," "Falling Rain," "Looking at the World," "I Surrender," and "What If." "Hole In My Head" is the only aforementioned song that is confirmed to have been included on the final release.

Hardline "Double Eclipse"

Double Eclipse is the debut album released by the American hard rock band Hardline in 1992.

The first single released from the album was "Takin' Me Down", written by Johnny and Joey Gioeli with Neal Schon. At that time, however, Grunge and Hip hop music were keeping formerly commercial AOR, hard rock, and heavy metal bands in the lower reaches of the album charts and preventing most from hitting the Billboard Hot 100 at all. Despite the odds stacked against it, "Takin' Me Down" entered Billboard's Hot Mainstream Rock Tracks chart for four weeks, peaking at No. 37 in June. The album's second single fared better. A cover of a top 40 hit by Danny Spanos from 1983, and written by members of the band Streetheart, Hardline's version of "Hot Cherie" rose to No. 25 on the Hot Mainstream Rock Tracks chart and remained on that chart throughout the fall of 1992, ultimately logging fourteen weeks.

Journey guitarist Neal Schon joined the Gioeli brothers and toured for this album, which rocks a bit harder than most of his Journey and Bad English tracks had and features little synthesizer (even though it features two tracks co-written with the aforementioned bands' keyboardist, Jonathan Cain), but Schon departed for other projects after the band lost its record deal. Schon was replaced by former The Storm guitarist Josh Ramos.

The song "Can't Find My Way" (in its demo form) is featured during the montage love scene in the 1992 Brandon Lee action movie Rapid Fire. The song "I'll Be There" is played during the film's closing credits. The tracks were included as a result of Lee's personally favoring Hardline's music.

Hardline's 2002 album II and 2012 album Danger Zone each depict an eclipse as part of its cover artwork, an homage to Double Eclipse's ten-year and twenty-year anniversaries.
