Today, after more than two decades of silence, VON GROOVE proudly announces their new album 'Born To Rock,' set for release on May 15, 2026 via Frontiers Music Srl. To celebrate the announcement, the band also shares the title track alongside an official music video,.
On the band's return, guitarist Mladen expresses:
"It's been a long time since the three of us made music together, but from the very first chord, the chemistry was undeniable. We poured our heart and soul into these 11 tracks and can't wait to share them with our fans." He continues, "'Born To Rock' celebrates our life long love of making and performing music. When rock n roll gets in your soul it never leaves. It's a life long addiction."
VON GROOVE triumphantly returns with a jaw-dropping new album that reunites the classic original lineup: Mladen on guitars, Michael Shotton on drums and vocals, and Matthew Gerrard on bass. This isn't just a comeback, it's a resurrection!
Marking their first studio release since 2001, the album feels like it was born in the same fire as their legendary 1992 debut. The opening title-track, "Born To Rock," explodes with the same urgency and swagger as their iconic "Once Is Not Enough" - even quoting it with a subtle nod that will send chills down the spine of longtime fans.
True to their roots, VON GROOVE delivers a masterclass in melodic hard rock, with blazing guitars, soaring vocals, and airtight arrangements. The production is punchy and alive, but the soul of the record is pure 90s AOR glory.
