"Satisfying sound, great riffs, beautiful choruses, memorable melodies, and a wide range of song structures with a melodic orientation. This band is one to remember; I see great things on the horizon if they maintain this quality. All that’s left for me is to give the highest rating!"
10/10, METAL ONLY
"The Swabians are anything but stingy when it comes to good songs, making a strong statement in terms of 'Top Albums of the Year 2025'. Those who appreciate a good mix of melody and heaviness will find it hard to overlook this record!"
8.5/10, ROCK IT
"Strong!"
8.5/10, ROCK HARD
"For me, one of the best German debuts of the first half of the year!"

Today, melodic heavy metal force FRONT ROW WARRIORS celebrates the release of their much-acclaimed, sophomore studio album, entitled “Running Out Of Time”. Out now on CD, Vinyl and in Digital formats via ROAR, you can order your album copy at this location: https://frontrowwarriors.rpm.link/rootalbum
Founded in 2019, FRONT ROW WARRIORS has already caused quite a stir in 2023 with their debut “Wheel Of Fortune” and was showered with praise by critics. The German Rock and Pop Musicians Association even named the debut album „Hard Rock Album of the Year 2023“. The 80s hard rock, with a pinch of AOR and melodic metal from the 90s, went down fantastically straight away, which is not only due to singer Elkie Gee, who has a remarkable range and stands out from the crowd with her vocal color.
All of the band members in FRONT ROW WARRIORS are no strangers in the scene. Sorin Badin and Stef Binnig-Gollub on guitars are former musicians from Samsara and Septagon, while Richie Seibel, who is also a member of Ivanhoe and Them, plays the keys. The bass is played by Timo Michels (ex-Pump) and the drums by Jay G. (ex-Sharon). The band played a number of concerts and festivals in 2024 and performed on stage with the likes of Treat, Vicious Rumors, Riot V, Victory, Axxis and Shakra. Since March 2024, guitarist Dominik Barth (ex-Illusoria) has replaced Sorin Badin, who had to step back for family reasons, but has been working in the background on the studio and fine-tuning the songs.
Their new album “Running Out Of Time”, once again with none other than Achim Köhler (Primal Fear, Brainstorm a.o.) at the controls and co-produced by Michael Bormann, features some real bangers and impressively proves that the band also feels at home in metal. Lovers of delicate guitar and keyboard work as well as melodic hooks will get their money‘s worth, as will fans of the heavier genre. FRONT ROW WARRIORS once again skilfully play with the genres to produce a colorful bouquet of fabulous songs with guaranteed catchy tunes and surprising moments!
