 Cover photography by Manuel Schütz Silent night, ROARING night! CORELEONI loudly toll the bell for the festive season with their brand new digital offering: “Live at Hallenstadion Zurich” is out now via PERCEPTION – A Division of Reigning Phoenix Music, and available for streaming on several platforms. Following two singles – ‘Sick & Tired’ & ‘Like It Or Not,’ both taken from their first original album “III” [2022] – the international lion pride’s focus lays on a classic track today. ‘Firedance’ is one out of seven GOTTHARD songs CORELEONI performed on July 3, 2025 for this release and kick-started the final third of their energising set with unrivalled joy of playing. “This is one of the most important ‘first GOTTHARD era’ songs: it’s a heavy and melodic mid-tempo track recalling strong 70s and 80s vibes. ‘Firedance’ delivers great vocal and musical parts, accompanied by one the heaviest and funniest guitar solo, which was catapulted into live heaven on this recording,” adds guitarist Jgor Gianola.

Here Comes The Heat — — — — — About CORELEONI Founded by guitarist Leo Leoni in 2018, CORELEONI started reviving the early GOTTHARD days successfully with their album duo consisting of “The Greatest Hits – Part 1” and “II.” The band also convinced fans and critics alike with their high-energy performances all over Europe, making the five-piece write their very own material. The result titled “III” was finally released in early 2022 and saw the addition of gifted Albanian singer Eugent Bushpepa to CORELEONI’s powerful line-up, which is completed by guitarist Jgor Gianola (ex-GOTTHARD, ex-U.D.O.), bass player Mila Merker and drummer Alex Motta. The group’s latest record hit the official Swiss album chart at no. 2 and thereby cemented the high demand for their captivating craft. Of course, “III” guided the quintet’s way across the continent once again while making one thing even clearer: CORELEONI are more than just a studio band and need to be experienced (a)live to understand their vision in full.
