Hardcore Superstar Enter a New Chapter With Frontiers Signing and New Single “Halo”
Swedish hard rock band signs with Frontiers Music Srl, releases "Halo" and announces 20-date tour of Scandinavia. HARDCORE SUPERSTAR are opening the next chapter with a new label, a new single and a hectic run of shows.
Swedish hard rock band have inked a deal with Frontiers Music Srl with the label joining them officially in conjunction with the release of "Halo". The signing was announced a few days before the band kicked off their 20-date "Dirty Halo Tour" throughout Sweden and Finland.
"Halo" is the newest release from a band that has spent years cultivating an image of Hard Rock, Sleaze, Thrash and Street Metal. The song is based on big riffs and a big chorus and tackles the space between redemption and poor choices.
According to the band, "Halo" is "a song about people who wear a face of faith, while hoping that they will be forgiven for their transgressions."
This is the perfect opening for what HARDCORE SUPERSTAR describe as a new era for the band.
For the band: "We're really excited to start this new chapter with Frontiers. After all these years, we're still as hungry as ever to make great records, to play loud and to push HARDCORE SUPERSTAR forward.".
Aldo Lonobile, VP of Global A&R at Frontiers Music Srl, added: "I have been watching these guys for years and it felt right to work together with the band to help them take the next step."
That also puts the band back on tour.
The "Dirty Halo Tour" kicks off October 2 in Malm, Sweden and features 20 dates across Sweden and Finland. The tour hits Helsinki, Tampere, Stockholm, Gothenburg and more before wrapping up November 21 in Helsingborg.
The band has also announced that the tour will run through Europe and other parts of the world in 2027.
HARDCORE SUPERSTAR: Touring is an integral part of the band.
"The chaos, the crowds, the late nights and the communion with the fans," the band tweeted about the upcoming run.
Meanwhile, prepping the shows, the band is also recording its next studio album following 2022's Abrakadabra. The new one will be the first HARDCORE SUPERSTAR effort with drummer Efraim Larsson (Gathering Of Kings, Masterplan).
Current band members Joakim "Jocke" Berg - vocals Martin Sandvik - bass Vic Zino - guitar Larsson - drums Current lineup has Joakim "Jocke" Berg on vocals, Martin Sandvik on bass, Vic Zino on guitar and Larsson on drums.
They have also added to their global fanbase through extensive touring and their catalog's foray into hard rock and metal worlds. With use in placements and appearances, including a handful of tracks in HBO Max's Peacemaker, created by James Gunn, the music is continuing to find new audiences.
And that marries touring and recorded music has been what is all about with the bands.
Today, the band has a new album on the way, a new tour about to launch and a new record label supporting the next chapter of the band's journey.
After a half-decade of flying solo, "Halo" is any one of the band's first strides into a new chapter.
