CoreLeoni led by Gotthard founding member Leo Leoni, have announced the release of their new studio album Generection, set for release on September 11 via Reigning Phoenix Music. Marking the band’s fourth album since its formation in 2017 and the second featuring vocalist Gent Bushpepa, Generection sees CoreLeoni returning to their roots with their heaviest and hardest-hitting record to date.
Built on a foundation of unreleased tracks, the album showcases the powerhouse lineup of Alex Motta (drums), Mila Merker (bass), and Jgor Gianola (guitars), standing as unshakable pillars of the band’s sound. While heavier and harder than its predecessors, Generection never sacrifices warmth or atmosphere, especially in its most intimate moments. With the entire band contributing more to the songwriting than ever before, the result aligns perfectly with Leo Leoni’s unmistakable signature sound.
Of all the tracks on Generection, “Generation Rock” best captures the album’s generational spirit. The riff cuts like a knife, while the breakneck rhythm will have neck muscles tensing in anticipation of the inevitable headbanging. Blending raw power with analog warmth, the song unites distant generations through a shared musical dream. The common thread is music itself, as Leo channels timeless emotions that still burn close to the heart. Today’s first single perfectly embodies the album’s concept: just turn it up!
