Joel Hoekstra’s 13 is back with its fourth studio album, From the Fade - a dynamic collection of ten brand-new tracks combining soaring melodies, thunderous riffs and the high level of musicianship that fans have come to expect.

Guitarist and composer Joel Hoekstra (Whitesnake, Cher, Trans-Siberian Orchestra) is once again joined by a cast of rock elite: powerhouse drummer Vinny Appice (Black Sabbath, Dio), legendary bassist Tony Franklin (The Firm, Blue Murder), virtuoso keyboardist Derek Sherinian (Dream Theater, Sons of Apollo) and rising vocal sensation Girish Pradhan (Girish and the Chronicles, The Nail).

'From the Fade' delivers a blend of classic hard rock and modern melodic metal, characterised by tight arrangements, technical precision and emotionally charged performances. Each track reflects Hoekstra’s signature songwriting, which is rooted in tradition yet pushes the genre forward with a contemporary sound.

This is more than just a studio project - it's a statement of intent from one of rock's most respected guitarists and his band of world-class collaborators.
