Melodic rockers Frontline are thrilled to announce that their new studio album, “Rebirth”, will be released on May 15th, 2026, via Frontiers Music Srl.
To mark the occasion, the band reveal the first track, “Burning Horizon”, along with an official video, available below.
They stated: “‘Burning Horizon’ is the spark that ignited everything. It captures the energy, passion, and determination behind our comeback and shows how the classic Frontline sound translates into today’s world. For us, it’s the sound of moving forward with full force”.
With “Rebirth”, German melodic rock pioneers Frontline return with a powerful and emotional statement, opening a new chapter in a career that has helped define European AOR since the late 1980s.
The band commented on the record, by saying: “‘Rebirth’ truly reflects what this album stands for. After more than 20 years of silence, it’s our resurrection as a band. We wanted to honor our legacy and, most importantly, the fans who kept Frontline alive all these years, while bringing our signature melodies, hooks, and emotions into the present. This album opens a new chapter without forgetting where we come from”.
Founded in Nuremberg in 1989, Frontline quickly established themselves as one of the genre’s leading acts, built around the unmistakable voice of Stephan Kämmerer and a songwriting approach rooted in strong melodies, big hooks and album-oriented vision.
Over the years, Frontline released a string of acclaimed albums including the genre-defining debut “The State of Rock” (1994), followed by “Two Faced”, “Heroes”, “Right Attitude”, “Against the World”, “The Seventh Sign”, and “Circles”, earning an international reputation as one of Germany’s most respected AOR exports. Their sound blends soaring vocals, melodic guitar work and polished production, inspired by the golden era of late ‘80s and early ‘90s hard rock, with a distinct European character.
Following the passing of guitarist and songwriter Robby Böbel in 2022, “Rebirth” represents both a tribute to the band’s legacy and a step forward into new creative territory. The album features the original singer Stephan Kämmerer alongside new guitarist and producer Christian Mühlroth, whose fresh energy and musical vision play a key role in shaping this new era of Frontline.
Comprised of 14 brand new AOR tracks, “Rebirth” delivers a direct, no frills melodic rock approach, driven by anthemic, uplifting and sparkling choruses, emotional performances and confident songwriting. The singles “Two Tickets to the Afterglow”, “Burning Horizon” and “After You’re Gone” highlight the band’s ability to balance classic AOR values with renewed intensity and focus.
“Rebirth” is more than a comeback – it is a reaffirmation of Frontline’s identity and a celebration of melody, emotion and the timeless spirit of AOR, reborn for today and ready for the future.
