‘Shout’ sees the band helmed by American vocalist Johnny Gioeli (Axel Rudi Pell, Crush 40) and his Italian team mates, keyboardist Alessandro Del Vecchio (Vanden Plas, Jorn), guitarist Luca Princiotta, bassist Anna Portalupi and drummer Marco Di Salvia, take up where their 1992 masterpiece left off.

“Our current album features our typical choruses and the classic songwriting style of ‘Double Eclipse’, supported by a contemporary production and state-of-the-art sound. The album gives you that feeling you get when you roll down your car window and turn up the radio on full blast,” says Johnny Gioeli, describing the ten new songs. He adds: “This band doesn’t want to reinvent its music. Hardline is Hardline, and our fans know what to expect from us!”

The debut single ‘Rise Up’ is the first representative of the new album, a perfect foretaste of the album which spews the historical, current and future melodic consistency of Hardline.

With “Theories of Imperfection”, Greek guitar virtuoso Gus Drax returns to the forefront of instrumental progressive metal, delivering a record that will ignite the imaginations of shred fanatics and heavy metal devotees alike. Known for his work with Sunburst, Black Fate, and a decade as lead guitarist for thrash titans Suicidal Angels, Drax now unveils his most ambitious solo statement yet: a masterclass in guitar-driven storytelling that pushes the boundaries of technicality, melody, and raw emotion.

Across eight breathtaking tracks, Gus Drax crafts a sonic journey that fuses blistering speed with haunting atmospheres, channeling the spirit of guitar legends like Steve Vai, Yngwie Malmsteen, and John Petrucci, while forging a distinct identity that is unmistakably his own.

Visually, the album is brought to life by Remedy Art Design, whose striking cover artwork perfectly mirrors the music’s duality of chaos and beauty. With bold colors, surreal textures, and symbolic imagery, the artwork serves not only as an eye-catching aesthetic but also as an extension of Drax’s musical vision; a visual representation of perfection transformed into art. This synergy between sound and image ensures that “Theories of Imperfection” resonates as a complete experience, both sonically and visually.

Tracklist:
1️⃣ Sentio Ergo Sum
2️⃣ Nocturnal Waltz
3️⃣ Emotive Resonance
4️⃣ Ethereal Horizon
5️⃣ Sombrero Attack
6️⃣ Final Atonement
7️⃣ Cosmic Shadow
8️⃣ Everything’s Gonna Be Alright

“Theories of Imperfection” is not just an album… It’s an odyssey of sound that will thrill fans of progressive metal, inspire guitar players everywhere, and stand as a testament to Gus Drax’s place among the modern masters of the instrument.
