Bodyguerra - Steelheart Label: Fastball Music | Genre: Hardrock,Rock

 

When Ela and Guido decided to write songs at the end of 2019, Guido searched through his large archive of ideas, demo recordings and pre-productions. Including an early version of a song that shortly afterwards became "Steelheart". After a few musical changes, "Steelheart" was one of the first songs that Ela had completed with text and melody in a very short time. Recorded at Empire Studios by Rolf Munkes, an active musician (Crematory) himself, the title quickly became a catchy tune even for the studio crew. "Steelheart" is a mentor of life, an advisor in good and bad times, someone you can rely on, who is loyal and undaunted by your side. A timeless topic, but one that has been given a new emphasis in current times. More rocking than its predecessor “Believe”, “Steelheart” also conveys the subject matter of the lyrics from the first to the last minute. Performed with the typical Bodyguerra guitars, a groove of drums and bass that left you nothing but foot tapping and dancing and a hookline that catches you from the first second and never let go. Released on all major digital portals worldwide via Fastball Music / Bob-Media. Including the instrumental backing track to sing-along as B-side.

Bodyguerra - Fire & Soul Label: Fastball Music | Genre: Hardrock,Rock | Format: CD / Album | Release: 2021-10-15 As a modern rock band, Bodyguerra embodies heavy and punchy guitar driven rock that is characterized by Guido Stoecker‘s virtuoso guitar playing. Complemented by Christian Antwerpen´s heavy drumming and Bassist Daniel “Danij” Perl’s driving bass playing, the band provides the foundation for Ela Sturm’s vocals. With its four octave range, her voice sounds equally impressive in the lows as in the highs. Bodyguerra published their debut album, “Freddy … nothing as it seems“, in 2013 via Dust on the Tracks Records (MIG) / Sony. Soon other projects followed, among them the compilation album “For the Ocean – a Tribute to Sea Shephard” (Bellaphone). In 2018, Bodyguerra impressed the crowds as special guests for Graham Bonnet (former Rainbow / MSG vocalist) and his band on a tour through Germany, Switzerland, Belgium and the Netherlands. In spring 2020 the confirmed tour with David Reece Band (Accept, Bonfire) got cancelled due to Corona. In late 2019, Guido and Ela started writing new songs. The result is the band’s new album “Fire & Soul” featuring eleven brandnew rocking-bluesy tracks plus one special bonus track; recorded at Empire Studios, mixed, mastered, and co-produced by Rolf Munkes (Crematory). Bodyguerra will impress you with powerful rock as well as melodic songs with catchy hooks like “Stay Free” and “Steelheart”, while the title track “Fire & Soul” proves that the band is not afraid to include soul influences as well.
