Frontline is a German hard rock band formed in 1989, primarily operating within the Melodic Hard Rock and AOR (Adult Oriented Rock) spheres. Emerging at a time when the global music landscape was shifting toward grunge and alternative, Frontline remained steadfast in the tradition of bands like Journey, Survivor, and Foreigner, though with a distinctly European 'heavy' edge reminiscent of Scorpions or Bonfire.
Their sound identity is built on the interplay between Stephan Kaemmerer's soaring vocals and Robby Boebel's meticulous guitar work and keyboard arrangements. Throughout the 1990s and early 2000s, they released a string of critically respected albums such as 'The State of Rock' and 'Heroes', which are often cited by genre purists as high-water marks for 90s melodic rock. Despite never achieving massive mainstream crossover in the US, they maintained a dedicated cult following in Europe and Japan. T or Eclipse.
