For the album Edge of Tomorrow a new lineup was also announced with Alessandro Del Vecchio (Hardline, Voodoo Circle) on keyboards, Hammond organ, backing vocals and handling songwriting and production of the album. Other musicians are Simone Mularoni on guitars, Nik Mazzucconi on bass and Francesco Jovino (Primal Fear, Hardline) on drums. It was released on May 13th, 2016.[3]
