Cleanbreak have set to release their new studio album “We Are the Fire” on October 11th, 2024, via Frontiers Music.
Cleanbreak consists of powerhouse singer James Durbin and guitarist Mike Flyntz (Riot V) continuing to wave the almighty heavy metal flag.
Since their 2022 debut album “Coming Home”, Cleanbreak has continued to craft music that pays homage to more traditional American heavy metal sounds like Riot and Fifth Angel. “We Are the Fire”, the band’s second chapter, continues that trajectory, again showing off the immense talent of both Durbin and Flyntz. They are joined by Alessandro Del Vecchio (Edge of Forever, Hardline, Vanden Plas) on bass, keyboards, and backing vocals, while Nicholas Papapicco (Robin McAuley, Toby Hitchcock) completes the line-up on drums.
“This is a great collection of songs that I had the pleasure of singing and interpreting. Mike Flyntz is an absolute beast on guitar and it’s been an honor working with him. Thank you to all of our collective fans and the Cleanbreak fans. We love making music for you”, says Durbin.
