Bandbiography

Fans of German hard rock no doubt remember Frontline as being resident hopefuls only a few steps away from the big time. The band released eight albums between 1991 and 2006, in 2016 after a 10 year break, the band decided to re-unite and to do a new album, things between the four members didn´t work out as planned …Fast forward to spring 2020 and destiny landed on the doorstep like a 10 ton hammer. The singer in question was UK resident and outstanding vocalist Gregg Cromack. In April 2021, it was announced that a new hard rock band was to offer to the world: Ray Of Light, then something completey unexpected happend…

In our own words: While working on the album in the middle of 2022 we received the shocking news that Guitarist Robby Boebel is seriously sick, in July of 2022 Robby passed away, we were completely in shock because we were not only band mates but also close friends for so long, the album production came to a full stop. In September / October of 2023, we started working with Jörg “Warthy” Wartmann – Guitarist extraordinaire and producer of countless successful projects and bands, who was involved in a total 10 million sold records as a guitarist / producer / arranger. Warthy played guitar in Evidence One when Robby had left the band, he would definately agree to have Warthy on board to help us finishing this album, it alway takes the right combination of factors and people to get things into the right direction.

It was a long journey until we got to this point, but the result is an outstanding piece of music, a tribute to Robby and a bright shining Ray of Light !

RAY OF LIGHT are: Gregg Cromack / vocals, Stephan Bayerlein / drums, Thomas Hutch Bauer / bass and new Guitar Player Jörg “Warthy” Wartmann and of course Robby Boebel, whose spirit and whose typical guitar style can be heard on many of the songs on the album, he will always have a special place in our hearts.
