BOB SALIBA is the brand new band of former guitarist, singer, composer and producer, Bob SALIBA. Its music style evolves between melodic power, FM Hard Rock and Folk Prog, with several exotic elements from the European, hispanic or oriental folk music. Bob is an active musician and member of bands such as KingCrown featuring former Nightmare members Jo & David Amore (last album “Wake up Call” released in 2022 on ROAR, it’s single’s videoclip reached 67k views in 3 months and the band even performed on French famous animator Jacky’s program on IDF1 TV in early 2022); Galderia in France (albums released in 2022 and in 2017 on Massacre Records. Reaching more than 90k views on youtube) ; Rubicon in Russia (last album released in 2021 on Rock City Music, world and Fono Music, Russia) and Daemons Vault in Brazil (album in making, hired by John Macaluso as lead singer). Bob also used to be a very active local musician in his geographical area and in different bands and styles of music from heavy rock to pure metal : in Stonecast (as guitarist and main composer, 2 albums released in 2013 and 2019 on Pitch Black Records) ; in Debackliner (as lead singer, album released in 2016 on Pitch Black Records) ; Bob Oliver Lee (album released in 2016 on Underground Symphony) ; Quiet Human (album released in 2016 on Delta Mekong) ; Ninmah…Bob began his professional musical trip with his friend, power pop french singer Alix Schmidt, back in 2008 (M6 Live, Filles TV…) before she turned back to her acting career in theaters and french TV. Bob also built a solid live experience through Europe these last 10 years, supporting or opening for artists such as Ripper Owens, Sonisphere festival, Zak Stevens’ Circle II Circle, Nightmare, Now or Never, Secret Sphere, Blaze Bayley, Timo Kotipelto & Jani Liimatainen’s Blackoustic and his touring with Therion/Imperial Age/NullPositiv. He also sang for John Macaluso's clinic in Marseille in 2016, this encounter will lead to this current collaboration (and others). Bob was proposed to join Imperial Age as guitarist for their European 2022 tour, but declined to focus on this new band.
Basically viewed as a studio project with confirmed musicians as guests, a new team also joined BOB SALIBA to build a live combo and promote the coming album on stage. The band already performed its 1st show opening for the legendary English band FM back in may 2022. The band received a very positive feedback from the audience and the venue was already full for this opening act. The album is awaited with strong interest.
