Powerhill - Generation X - The Swiss mountains are usually filled with the sounds of cowbells, the peaceful twittering of birds, and the distant rustling of the valleys, but now, a new and unmistakable sound is rising, driven by electrifying Hard Rock riffs, anthemic melodies, and a headbanging beat-setting cow in full rocker gear. Where alpine romance meets heavy riffs, POWERHILL are not far away. With their album "Generation X", POWERHILL are bringing a breath of fresh air to the Rock and Metal scene, carving out their very own tongue-in-cheek genre with their 'Farm Metal' that is now stirring up the rural idyll. Led by vocalist Veronica Torre and accompanied by thunderous riffs and high-energy drumming from their iconic mascot, Clotilde, the musicians blend powerful melodies with a hefty dose of humor. With their debut album, the band around guitarist, mastermind, and producer Alberto 'Cep' Ceppi proves that Metal and farmyard charm can be a surprisingly explosive mixture. Driven by Luca 'Chewbe' Gentile's grooving basslines and featuring drum legend Jörg Michael (i.a. Stratovarius, Running Wild, Axel Rudi Pell) behind the kit, the album's ten diverse songs inspire with catchy anthems and humorous accents. Recorded and mixed at Stairway Studio under the supervision of Stefano Scenini, "Generation X" was mastered by George Nerantzis (i.a. Gus G., Pain Of Salvation, Nightrage). Thanks to graphic designer Thomas Ewerhard (i.a. Avantasia, Gotthard, Jon Oliva's Pain), the most iconic cow in Hard Rock has now received the perfect visual branding. Clotilde proudly takes center stage on the album cover with her stunning presence, posing in a glowing '80s-inspired cityscape with neon nostalgia, ready to rock the next club.
