Title - Invictus
Artist - Bodyguerra
In 2021, the latest Bodyguerra album, Fire & Soul was released worldwide on Fastball Music and quickly placed in the official German rock and metal charts.
The new album Invictus will be released worldwide on September 15th, 2023 and will set new standards for the band.
The four-piece - singer Ela Sturm, guitarist Guido Stoecker and the two new band members Robert Brenner on bass and Jason Steve Mageney on drums - once again impresses with an incomparably original performance and presents authentic and homegrown rock music.
With the new songs, Bodyguerra clearly set themselves apart from their previous album in terms of songwriting and production. Stomping rock numbers (Blood and Stones), driving up-tempo numbers (Twilight), the extremely bluesy-groovy She Bop or the impressive acapella number My Mother Told Me, all come together to create an entertaining album that is just plain fun.
Producer Rolf Munkes from Empire Studios aka the current guitarist from Crematory, once again provides the necessary crisp sound to give the new songs the fittingly powerful rock sound.
Bodyguerra’s live presence causes goosebumps right from the start and fires up the audience massively when Ela opens the show with her powerful voice and the question Are you ready to rooooooock?!.
Bodyguerra already rocked with Graham Bonnet (Rainbow / MSG) and as very special guests with the legendary Brits The Sweet and will play further shows next Autumn to tour this new album.

The album opens on the drum-led Blood and Stones and the rousing ’80s rocker vibe of Troublemaker and then backs those up with the fervent metal of Twilight, their brilliant rendition of Cyndi Lauper’s underrated ’90 hit She Bop, and the empowered Confident Woman.
Along next is the propellant Devil’s Eye and the enthusiastically-charged I Stop Listening to You which are in turn followed by the mid-tempo Time Goes By, the melodic rocker Too Late, the recording rounding out on the groove-laden guitar work within C’mon, Tell Me, closing on the haunting acapella bonus track My Mother Told Me.
