Italian heavy metal quintet Thunder Rising has unveiled the lyric video for “The Prisoner,” a standout ballad from their upcoming album Horizon Line.
The song explores the paradox of love and protection turning into a form of confinement. Its lyrics reflect the weight of being caught in a self-made “cage,” where the very thing meant to offer safety becomes a source of suffocation. “The Prisoner” captures the desperate need for release, with the repeated line, “I’m a prisoner of your love,” serving as a timeless cry for freedom.
The release of “The Prisoner” lyric video is a fresh opportunity for listeners to engage with the thematic depth and sonic power of the band’s latest work.
Defining the “Real Vintage” Sound
Thunder Rising, featuring veterans of the late ’70s and ’80s Italian rock scene (Firehouse and Arachnes), has meticulously defined their signature “Real Vintage” sound. This unique approach is a masterful blend of modern recording clarity and classic rock heritage, built upon decades of experience.
The album Horizon Line channels the deep, riff-driven energy reminiscent of heavy-hitters like Deep Purple and Rainbow, while embracing the soaring melodic sensibilities of AOR giants such as Journey and Boston.
The band’s commitment to authenticity is reflected in their choice of equipment: classic Hammond organs, Fender guitars, and Marshall amps are utilized alongside modern instruments and sharp recording techniques. The result is an audio experience that is both powerfully vintage and crystal clear. Horizon Line is defined by solid song structures, impressive guitar virtuosity, and standout vocals, taking listeners on an emotional journey—a metaphorical road trip through music and memory.
