V.A. – We Still Rock… The World [CD version +3 bonus] (2025) MP3+FLAC

A few days ago we featured “We Still Rock – The Compilation”, released back in 2016 via Tanzan Music, which has become a praised collectors’ item quickly sold-out in its CD format. Now 2025, after almost nine years, the long-awaited follow-up, “We Still Rock . . . The World” – is finally here!

Her we have in exclusive at  the actual CD version including 3 Bonus Tracks exclusive to CD format.
The new chapter is a collection of sought-after material for melodic rock aficionados, featuring unreleased songs and alternate versions of known tracks from several respected Italian melodic rock artists.
Artists such as Soul Seller, Room Experience, StreetLore, Mindfeels, Firesky & Night Pleasure Hotel, are already part of the Art Of Melody Music’s roster. Joining them in this release are international projects, Kastadian, No Limits, Füel For Tunes, Broken Carillon and Laneslide.

All these feature international (The World) guest stars, Toby Hitchcock (Kastadian), Robbie LaBlanc & Stefano Lionetti (No Limits), Frank Vestry, Erik Martensson, Bruce Gaitsch, Michael Bormann & Bruno Kraler (Laneslide), Gianluca Firmo (Broken Carillon) and Alessandro Del Vecchio & Pierpaolo “Zorro” Monti (Füel For Tunes.)
“We Still Rock . . . The World” also marks the official comeback of the fan favorite Shining Line AOR project after fifteen years, with a brand new song, set to remain exclusive to this compilation.

There’s some darn fine AOR / melodic rock tunes here, such as the new Shining Line, No Limits featuring Robbie LaBlanc, Toby Hitchcock in a great vocal performance for melodic rockers Kastadian, the Laneslide songs featuring Frank Vestry, Erik Martensson & Bruce Gaitsch, great melodic rockers Room Experience, and a revelation, new female-fronted AOR band Broken Carillon when their ’80s keayboard driven track.

“We Still Rock . . . The World” not only offer unreleased tracks for collectors, but some stupendous music and featuring excellent mucicians / vocalists from the Melodic Hard Rock international scene.
