Bio:

When guitarist Roberto Priori started the Italian band DANGER ZONE in the early 80s a long hard road lay ahead of them. In 1984 they released the LP “Victim Of Time”.In the spring of 1988 DANGER ZONE eventually opened up for Heavy Metal legends Saxon in Verona, Italy and following the performance promoter and manager Francesco Sanavio offered DANGER ZONE a production deal which included the plan to break into the US market. Almost a year later in May 1989 the new album "Line Of Fire" began to take shape when executive producer Stephan Galfas (Meat Loaf, Savatage, Stryper, John Waite and Saxon) got involved and his colleagues Jody Gray and Mark Cobrin, both successful with the Japanese Hard Rock outfits Loudness and EZO, took over the production duties.The band also recorded a Hard Rockin' version of the T. Rex c1assic "Children or the Revolution" and business reasons led them to record two more cover versions, "Thet's Why I Fell In Love With You" by Country singer Eddie Rabbitt and "Let Me Rock" from the 1984 one-off release by Chequered Past, a band featuring singer Michael Des Barres, ex-Sex Pistol Steve Jones and Blondie's rhythm section. The band members own cornpositions showed their great talent to write catchy Melodic Rock songs with a harder edge with equally great instrumental performances of Roberto Priori on lead guitar, Stefano Peresson on guitars and keyboards, Stefano Gregori on bass and Paolo Palmieri on drums. The rough vocals of Giacomo Gigantelli fit tracks Iike "State or The Heart", "Hardline", "Love Dies Hard " and "Fingers" perfectly. On the latter one singer and model Grace Jones can be heard doing background vocals.Following the studio recordings DANGER ZONE began rehearsing for Iive shows and the guys prepared their move to Los Angeles . But due to endless negotiations with an US label the band began to fall apart and money started to run short, forcing the remaining band members to sell part of the equipment to finally make it across the ocean. When DANGER ZONE finally started to build up a good reputation by touring the Club circuit in Southern California for several months the L.A. Scene was hit very hard by the Grunge wave, forcing DANGER ZONE to give up their big dream, call it quits and return back home to Italy.As the years went by “Line of Fire”reached an underground cukt status when Rock magazines fanzines and dedicated fans of the band continuosly demanded its release.In 2011 the album finally sees the light of the day carefully remastered from the original source by Roberto Priori.September 2012 DANGER ZONE announce the signing of their brand new album “Undying" .The band already got back together in 2010 working on new material and rehearsing for live shows. During 2011 the guys worked continuously on new songs and played several gigs in Italy. Before original DANGER ZONE band members Roberto Priori (guitars), Paolo Palmieri (drums) and Giacomo Gigantelli (vocals) entered the studio they added new bassist Roberto Galli to their line-up. 
The album has been produced by Roberto Priori and Jody Gray, one of the key members of the production team of the “Line Of Fire” album .To promote this release, the group played several shows in Italy and some Summer Festivals.In March 2014 they released a single and a video of the E.Z.O.'s song "Fire Fire", a tribute to a legendary Japanese band of the 80's, now featuring new bass player Matteo Minghetti.While keeping playing live, the Danger Zone started to work on the compositions for a new album. The sound now turned out to be more melodic than before so they decided to add Pier Mazzini (Perfect View) and Whitesnake's Michele Luppi on keyboards.In Summer of 2015 the Italians started the recordings with Roberto Priori and Jody Gray producing at the PriStudio in Bologna; as before the engineering duties were handled by Roberto himself.The whole album has a very positive energy and attitude. Hard Rock and AOR were mixed together and as a result, the band feels even better presented than it was never before.That’s why they decided to call the album "Closer To Heaven", it marks a step towards their own identity and sound.

Album:

The band centered around guitarist Roberto Priori is currently putting the final touches onto the master. Musically, the Italians successfully continue with the path they already had followed with their previous, very successful release "Closer To Heaven".If you have been working since 1984 and are now ready for your fifth album, you cannot speak of a very active band. This clearly applies to the Italian melodic rock company Danger Zone. Guitarist Roberto Priori has kept the band alive all these years. The band even camped in America for a while in the eighties in the hope of gaining a foothold there, but unfortunately for them it remained a dream.Fast forward to the present and the band has three primal members with Priori himself, drummer Paolo Palmieri and singer Giacomo Gigantelli (who would really be called that?). The band has of course undergone quite a few line up changes, and their most recent addition is Michele Luppi, who also touches the keys at Whitesnake. And does Danger Zone have anything to offer hard rock fans today? The answer is yes. The title of the most recent piece is "Don't Count On Heroes", and with opener "Demon Or Saint" it becomes clear that we are dealing here with an experienced band who can put a decent piece of melodic rock on the mat. Priori's guitar work in particular is tasteful and meticulous, it all sounds well thought out and fits well with the compositions. Singer Gigantelli has a strong and warm voice without Italian sounds in his English (so it is possible). In terms of solid mid-tempo songs there is plenty to enjoy ("Faster Than Love" or "Down To Passion"), but the somewhat obligatory ballad "Rise Again" should have been omitted. The easily digestible "Hang On To Your Heart", on the other hand, is a successful attempt at an accessible and commercial number (read single). All in all an enjoyable piece of work from these Italian veterans. Now just increase the productivity.
