PERFECT VIEW born at the beginning of 2008, with a sound close to bands like Toto, Whitesnake, Dokken, Winger, Journey, TNT, etc. They signed a deal with the German label Avenue Of Allies Music and the debut album ws called “Hold Your Dreams”, released worldwide in 2010. In 2012 a special edition of the album was released.
2013 saw the band performing several live shows and working in the studio for the new album entitled “Red Moon Rising” which was released in 2014. In 2018 the band signed a new contract with Danish label Lions Pride Music releasing their third album, “Timeless”.
After a major line-up change, the band recorded the new album “Bushido”, which will be released this weekend, once again on Lions Pride Music. The work has a concept dedicated to the world of the samurai. It tells the story of a Japanese boy who is born with a disability, but who manages to pursue his dream of becoming a great samurai just like his grandfather had been.
It is undoubtedly the album that required the most effort from the band, for the lyrics, for the music and for the arrangements. The band wants to pay homage to a fascinating country and culture.
Musically, “Bushido” showcases the best version of PERFECT VIEW; the band now feel tight, mature like never before, developing elaborated melodic rock / AOR arrangements in the vein of Journey.
