Heavy metal quintet Thunder Rising are back with the official video for "Prelude 25", the latest visual offering from their critically acclaimed album Horizon Line.

"Prelude 25" is arguably the most progressive moment on Horizon Line — a fully realised instrumental piece that began life as an intro to the following track before evolving into something far more substantial. What emerged is a sweeping, cinematic statement rooted in the pomp rock and progressive tradition of the late 1970s: epic in scope, celebratory in spirit, and grandiose in every sense of the word.

The track's centrepiece is the interplay between Hammond organ and analogue synthesizers, instruments that carry an almost mythological weight in this genre, conjuring an atmosphere that feels both timeless and larger-than-life. Echoes of Yes, Emerson Lake & Palmer, and Boston ripple throughout, while a guitar theme adds a contemporary, cinematic dimension reminiscent of Cinematic Orchestra.

THE SOUND: REAL VINTAGE, MODERN CRUSH

Thunder Rising delivers a sound intimate to those who live and die by the sacred riff, having perfectly distilled the rich essence of the late '70s and '80s. This isn't theoretical appreciation; it's deep-cut knowledge, forged by the band's history, which includes production work with Italian heavyweights like Firehouse and prog titans Arachnes during that very era. Their signature style, self-dubbed "Real Vintage," is an expertly crafted fusion of heavy rock power and melodic sophistication that draws equally from the crushing, organ-drenched riffage reminiscent of prime Deep Purple and Rainbow, and the soaring, arena-ready vocal hooks and melodic sensibilities that dominated the era, channeling the spirit of bands like Journey and Boston. Crucially, this authenticity isn't achieved through cheap digital imitation. Thunder Rising deploys a devastating arsenal of TRUE VINTAGE GEAR—including Hammond organs, classic Fender guitars, and genuine Marshall stacks—all paired with modern, cutting-edge recording techniques. The result is a sound that is both POWERFULLY VINTAGE and CRYSTAL CLEAR, showcasing the band's deep experience delivered with uncompromising modern clarity.

I THUNDER RISING tornano con il video ufficiale di "Prelude 25", nuovo estratto dal loro acclamato album Horizon Line.

"Prelude 25 è l’episodio forse più “prog” dell’album. Nato come intro del brano successivo, in realtà è poi stato sviluppato come una song completa (anche se strumentale), incarnando quello spirito “pomp rock” e “Progressive” tipico della seconda metà degli anni ’70.

L’utilizzo dell’Hammond affiancato a sintetizzatori analogici lo colloca proprio in quel segmento, epico e narrativo, celebrativo e grandioso, sempre con una produzione di altissima qualità sonora. Riecheggiano sonorità come Yes, Emerson Lake & Palmer, Boston e non ultimo un tema chitarristico che ci porta verso mondi “Cinematic Orchestra” più recenti."
