Today, legendary singer RONNIE ROMERO is pleased to unveil his new track “Eternally,” the second single from his upcoming new solo album, 'Backbone,' out on October 24, 2025 via Frontiers Music Srl. “Eternally” arrives accompanied by an official video, available below.
Talking about the new single, RONNIE states:
“’Eternally’ is another very special song I wrote together with my dear friend Roy Z. We had been talking about doing something together for many years and, when it was time to write my album, I asked him if he had any idea and he immediately sent me this music with a very cool riff that Jose (Rubio) and I adapted to the song you can listen to now!
“Since I live in Romania, I had the idea to write about Vlad Tepes (Dracula), so I thought this song was the perfect opportunity. The lyrics are about his loneliness and desperation... A different point of view and how love can keep us alive even in the hardest times”, he added.
‘Backbone,’ RONNIE ROMERO’s new solo album, is a bold and dynamic statement that marks a major step forward in his solo career. Featuring a collection of powerful and inspired heavy metal tracks, the album showcases ROMERO at the peak of his vocal prowess. The album is produced by ROMERO himself and mixed and mastered by his guitarist Jose Rubio Jimenez.
Special contributions include guitar legend Kee Marcello, as well as acclaimed songwriter Russ Ballard, who penned the track “Hideaway.” The album also features a thunderous cover of Black Sabbath’s “Devil And Daughter,” reimagined with ROMERO’s signature intensity.
RONNIE comments:
“I actually have to thank my dear friend Russ Ballard!! Before I started writing the songs, I had this idea to make a song together, to link somehow the Rainbow connection we have. He immediately said yes and sent a cool idea which ended up being the song 'Hideaway.' From there it was so easy to get inspired for the rest of the songs”.
“Also, the song we did with my dear Roy Z, and of course the amazing guitar solo of one of our heroes Kee Marcello for the song with Russ… It’s so easy to write music when you are surrounded by such great people!”, he added.
ROMERO continued, “Nothing would be possible without the help of my friend Jose Rubio, in the songwriting process and the wonderful job he did to get the powerful sound through all the album, since he took care of the mixing and mastering. I really believe it’s an important improvement from the previous album. I hope you all gonna like this one!! We feel very proud of what we achieved with 'Backbone.'”

‘Backbone’ follows ROMERO’s first solo album of original material, ‘Too Many Lies, Too Many Masters,’ and two cover records. 2023’s 'Raised On Heavy Radio' paid tribute to metal giants like Ozzy Osbourne, Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, Accept, and Metallica, featuring special guests such as Gus G., Chris Caffery, and Roland Grapow.
