Hard rock band CoreLeoni, founded by Gotthard guitarist Leo Leoni, have filmed a music video for the track \u2018Deep In My Soul\u2019. Produced by Renuar Locaj, the clip can be viewed below.<\/p>\n

Speaking about the song, Leoni said: \u201c\u2018Deep In My Soul\u2019 was originally written by hammond player Nello \u2018Neil\u2019 Otupacca who even was a band mate of mine back in the days. I immediately fell in love with it when I heard it for the first time, but unfortunately it was never released. That\u2019s why I simply had to ask Nello, if he agrees that we record it for III<\/em>. It\u2019s almost a kind of prayer that especially highlights the gospel side of Eugent\u2019s [Bushpepa] 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? Watch our new video to find it out, enjoy!\u201d<\/p>\n

CoreLeoni issued third full-length studio album III<\/em> on May 20th, 2022 through Atomic Fire Records.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t think anyone has released an album like this in a long time,\u201d commented Leoni. \u201cHardly anyone thinks and writes in this way any more or still uses Les Paul guitars and Marshall amps the way we do. Personally, as a rock fan, I\u2019ve 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.\u201d<\/p>\n

III<\/em> marks the first CoreLeoni album to feature frontman Eugent Bushpepa, who replaced Ronnie Romero (Rainbow \/ The Ferrymen).<\/p>\n

\u201cThe first time I actually noticed Eugent was at the Eurovision Song Contest,\u201d said Leo Leoni about him. \u201cI liked his voice right away and I also liked his Eurovision Song Contest 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.\u201d<\/p>\n

III<\/em> was recorded by Davide Pagano and Leo Leoni at Yellow House Studio in Lugano, Switzerland. Mixing duties fell to Charlie Bauerfeind at Wisseloord Studios in Hilversum, Netherlands, while mastering was handled by Sascha \u201cBusy\u201d B\u00fchren at TrueBusyness in Berlin, Germany.<\/p>\n

Cover artwork was created by Ekaterina Bosova Leonova.<\/p>\n
