We are very happy to present you with our latest video for the song "Deep in my Soul". The song was originally written by hammond player Nello 'Neil' Otupacca who even was a band mate of mine back in the days. Leo immediately fell in love with it when he heard it for the first time, but unfortunately it was never released. That's why I simply had to ask Nello, if he agrees that we record it for »III.« It's almost a kind of prayer that especially highlights the gospel side of Eugent's vocals; a very emotional piece whose intimacy got nicely captured at an old church ruin where only our singer can be seen performing. But is there anybody else out there?
Music by Nello Otupacca
Lyrics by Flavio Rene Hochstrasser/Nello Otupacca

Enjoy the video!"

Quotes from Atomic Fire Records:
They are one of the most passionate homages to classic Hard Rock that has stood out in recent years: CORELEONI, founded in 2018. In the center of the formation literally beats the musical (lion) heart of guitar icon and GOTTHARD founding member Leo Leoni. In 2018 the band surprised the rock community with their “The Greatest Hits - Part 1”, which was released seemingly overnight. The album, which revived the old GOTTHARD classics - and with them the spirit of the time - caused quite a stir.
CORELEONI's upcoming third work will be released in May, 2022. New on board with CORELEONI is singer Eugent Bushpepa. With his powerful voice, he adds a whole new level of authenticity and old spirit to the songs. "I don't think anyone has released an album like this in a long time," Leo Leoni states. “Hardly anyone thinks and writes in this way anymore or still uses Les Pauls guitars and Marshall amps the way we do. Personally, as a rock fan, I've missed that a lot in recent years. And Eugent Bushpepa has turned out to be an absolute stroke of luck for that. He underlines vocally exactly what I feel like doing and what I want to hear on a new rock album."
This is how Classic Rock should sound like in 2022!
The release of »III«, our new album, unfortunately has to be pushed back to May 20th, 2022 due to production-related reasons. Until then, make sure to check out the three singles -- 'Let Life Begin Tonight', 'Purple Dynamite' and 'Sometimes' -- and to secure your copy of the five-piece's Atomic Fire Records debut via the link below!

Produced by Leo Leoni, »III« was also recorded by the maestro himself alongside Davide Pagano (GOTTHARD etc.) at Swiss Yellow House Studio. Mixing was handled by Charlie Bauerfeind (GOTTHARD, HELLOWEEN, BLIND GUARDIAN etc.) while the album was mastered by Sascha-Busy Bühren at TrueBusyness Music (Berlin, Germany). Last but not least, Ekaterina Bosova Leonova created its memorable artwork.
New tourdates for the Swiss part of the "Let Life Begin Tour 2022 are now official. We will bring a special guest on the tour.
Ticket information will be published as soon as it is available.
So here it is...Our latest video "Sometimes" from the coming album CoreLeoni III.
Band initiator Leo Leoni comments, "It's about daily life and how we feel, everyone experiencing ups and downs. Every person can get up happily in the morning, but also wish that the same day would be over immediately. Some put their trust in God and others in their own strength. Everyone go through moments in which they need hope and courage. That's exactly what this song is all about - and that it's worth to believe that hope and courage get rewarded in the end."
Ladies and Gentlemen, here’s a little teaser of our third single “SOMETIMES”, which will be released on April 15th!!

New on board with CORELEONI is singer Eugent Bushpepa. With his powerful voice, he adds a whole new level of authenticity and old spirit to the songs. "I don't think anyone has released an album like this in a long time," Leo Leoni states. "Hardly anyone thinks and writes in this way anymore or still uses Les Pauls guitars and Marshall amps the way we do. Personally, as a rock fan, I've missed that a lot in recent years. And Eugent Bushpepa has turned out to be an absolute stroke of luck for that. He underlines vocally exactly what I feel like doing and what I want to hear on a new rock album."
Born in Tirana/Albania, the musician and songwriter Eugent Bushpepa started his career early: already at the age of six, he won a national singing competition. After school, he moved to Bologna/Italy to study dentistry until he began his professional career with the band SUNRISE in 1998. With them, he opened for DEEP PURPLE and Duff McKagan (ex-GUNS N' ROSES) among others. Since 2011, he has been working as a vocal coach for the TV format »The Voice Of Albania«. In 2018, he represented his home country at the »Eurovision Song Contest« in Lisbon (song: 'Mall') and reached the seventh position.
"The first time I actually noticed Eugent was at the ESC," says Leo Leoni about him. "I liked his voice right away and I also liked his ESC song. Then when we got into the situation of having to look for a new singer, he immediately came back to my mind and I just contacted him. He was astonished at first and pleased alike. He is a great singer and an amazingly great person. He has an incredible amount of soul and emotion in his voice and his way of making music. That fascinates me a lot and I hope you guys out there as well."
Watch out for the first new single to be unveiled in January 2022!
CORELEONI are:
Eugent Bushpepa | vocals
Leo Leoni | guitars
Jgor Gianola | guitars
Mila Merker | bass
Alex Motta | drums
