Following the announcement of their upcoming album ‘Generection‘ and the recent release of its first single, ‘Generation Rock‘, which perfectly captured the record’s generational spirit, CoreLeoni, led by Gotthard founding member Leo Leoni, have unveiled an official music video for “Howling At The Moon.” The new single offers another powerful glimpse into their forthcoming studio offering, further showcasing the heavier, more hard-hitting direction CoreLeoni have embraced on their latest release.

Rooted in an idea dating back to the early ’90s, “Howling At The Moon” was originally conceived by Jgor Gianola and the late Steve Lee during songwriting sessions for Gotthard before being rediscovered and reimagined for ‘Generection‘. Driven by crushing riffs, a commanding vocal performance from Gent Bushpepa, and CoreLeoni‘s unmistakable blend of melodic hard rock and metal, the song bridges the band’s present with a remarkable piece of their musical history.
Marking the band’s fourth album since its formation in 2017 and the second featuring vocalist Gent Bushpepa, ‘Generection‘ sees CoreLeoni returning to their roots with their heaviest and hardest-hitting record to date.
Built on a foundation of unreleased tracks, the album showcases the powerhouse line-up of Alex Motta (drums), Mila Merker (bass), and Jgor Gianola (guitars), standing as unshakable pillars of the band’s sound. While heavier and harder than its predecessors, ‘Generection‘ never sacrifices warmth or atmosphere, especially in its most intimate moments. With the entire band contributing more to the songwriting than ever before, the result aligns perfectly with Leo Leoni’s unmistakable signature sound.
The analogue mix is one of the defining characteristics of ‘Generection‘, recreating the magic of ’70s and ’80s recordings while injecting a modern edge. Razor-sharp riffs, driving rhythms, and just the right touch of sweetness and dimension make this an album that opens a door to the past for younger listeners while reconnecting older rockers with their roots.
Since launching CoreLeoni in 2017, Leo Leoni has built the project into a celebrated hard rock force that bridges generations. With Gent Bushpepa once again delivering a commanding vocal performance and a band firing on all cylinders, ‘Generection‘ stands as a powerful statement of intent, honouring classic rock traditions while pushing confidently forward.
Set to be released on September 11th through Reigning Phoenix Music, ‘Generection‘ is available for pre-order – here
