2013 came with an amazing release!
Alex De Rosso release his new album, which called "Lions & Lambs" and is a production of Defox Records and
Heart Of Steel Records. This project contains 10 songs and all of them are in vein of Melodic Hard Rock.
In the album there are some important special guests: Don Dokken (Dokken), Reb Beach (Winger, Dokken, Whitesnake),
George Lynch (Lynch Mob, Dokken), Timothy Drury (Whitesnake, the Eagles), Doug Aldrich (Whitesnake),
Steve Lukather (Toto). All those big musicians combine their music powers to make a perfect result and they did it
very well. In the new release of Alex De Rosso you can find style with a modern and powerful sound and you understand
that from the beginning of the cd with the song "Disappear". Powerful guitar riffs, with a beautiful solo and rhythm
drums. The next track of this album is "Resistance" and is an interesting song. Interesting guitar and interesting
vocals which reminds you old good times of Alex De Rosso. I have to say that the most songs of this release remind
us old ages melodic rock, remind us power rock. They provide perfect melody, rhythm musical instruments, guitar solo
that cheers you up and vocals that transmit their passion. And this is absolutely an expected result, because their
are a lot of excellent music artists in the "Lions & Lambs". Those musicians can combine their music soul with the
tracks and pass it to the listeners and you will understand that when you hear the most of the tracks of this album,
but when you hear especially the melodic rock ballads "Something About You & Me" and "Your Mirror" .
Tracks that you must absolutely listen from the album "Lions & Lambs":

Alex De Rosso's passion for rock guitar began in 1982 in Padova, Italy.
In 1995 Alex entered the international scene when Alfa Brunette released in Japan "Alex De Rosso", his
self titled cd. In the same year "Music Connection" rated Alex's demo as one of the best 10 demos of
the year, the best in instrumental rock, and he started to play in music conventions and fairs like the
Namm Show in Los Angeles, the Frankfurt Musikmesse in Germany, and the Interexpomusic & the
Disma Music Show in Italy.
In 1997 Alex started to record his second album "Ossimoro", that has been released in 1998.
In 2002, right after the release of his third album, "The thin line between black and white",
Alex joined Dokken taking over guitar duties when John Norum (Europe) left the band.
As the new Dokken guitar player, Alex toured in 2002 and 2003 playing something like 100 shows.
In the middle of all this Alex recorded as lead guitar player, with producer Fabrizio Grossi, the album
“Vertigo” featuring Joseph Williams (TOTO) on vocals, and the album “Perfect World” with Kelly Hansen
(Hurricane, Foreigner) on vocals. Back in Italy, after the Dokken days, in early 2004 Alex started to work
on productions @ “the cube”, his own recording studio.
In the meantime Alex started a new hard rock band, Headrush, with italian singer Roberto Tiranti
(Labyrinth). The first and self titled album of Headrush will be released in early 2005.
2008 is the perfect year for the release of King of Balance “A rockwalk through the TOTO years”,
a tribute to one of the best rock bands ever and one of alex’s favourite, TOTO.
The album is produced by Alex, and many friends like Timothy Drury (Whitesnake, the Eagles) and
Stef Burns (Vasco Rossi, Huey Lewis, Alice Cooper, Y&T)
are involved in the project. In 2010 Alex has been involved in many projects, like Faithsedge and Pushking’s
“The world as we love it”. In fact alex recorded the all-star album for the russian band Pushking, a project
where you can hear Alex together with rock icons Alice Cooper, Paul Stanley (KISS), Billy Gibbons (ZZ Top),
Glenn Hughes, Joe Lynn Turner, Eric Martin, Steve Lukather, Steve Vai, Steve Stevens, Nuno Bettencourt.
After this Alex finally joined the band, collaborating with Pushking for live shows and the release of
their new album. And in 2012 finally Alex started the production of his fourth solo"Lions & Lambs",
wich will be released January 2013.
