The release date of the new album „V“ by the German Melodic Hard Rock Band ToJa on CD is July 14th, 2017. The pre-order phase will start on June 30th, 2017 in Pure Steel webshop.
Founded in 1997 by Tommy Rinn and JJ Thielking the original studio project developed into a live act with performances in and around Germany. In the current occupation, the fifth album entitled "V" was recorded. With Max Rudolph on drums and Ole Dietz on bass an excellent hard rock album was launched with support from Berny Pezalla (guitar) and Willi Limpert (bass).
Real riff-monsters with catchy choruses and sensitive ballads are waiting for the listener. Mixed and mastered by Marc Bugnard at LFT studio.
"V" is a consistent continuation of Tommy's and JJs philosophy, Hard Rock does not match without melody. So you find superb vocal lines and fine guitar solos, and for the first time a pure instrumental on the disc.
An album for anyone who likes melodic Hard Rock.

Biography:
We can’t resist ...
What started as a project, an exclusive piece of music, grew bigger and bigger with the years. After leaving Syder and the stage Thomas "Tommy" Rinn, Jan "JJ" Thielking together with Andreas "Andy" Ecker released two well received albums.
The third CD "Train of life" was done without Andy who preferred to get back on stage with his own outfit to do live shows.
The album was recorded in their own Master-of-Desaster studio, the drums were done by outstanding drummer Tim Dierks, different to the last two albums that were done using drumsamples. Marc Bugnard was on board again to help on the production side and of course he did the mastering in his own LFT-Studio. "Train of life was released in cooperation with "Avenue-of-Allies" who signed ToJa for the album.In 2008 Oliver "Ole" Dietz, "subwoofer from hell" and former "Syder"-member is back with us, part of the current line-up as well as Tim Dierks. A nice surprise in 2012: Bernd “Berny“ Pezalla, mastermind of the band Syder, completed the official line-up. From January 2013 on ToJa are signed to Pure Steel Records. The guys from ToJa are really proud and they are looking forward to work with perfect partners in a professional environment.
Let’s rock the world.
