Constant line-up changes...different singers....I don't care. Vicious Rumors is one of those bands I'll stick with, no matter what. Like Pretty Maids. That stretch of four albums from "Digital Dictator" to "Word of Mouth" is untouchable. Made me a fan for life. Geoff Thorpe and the Warball keep...

Love the new release. A stunningly consistent band...amazing musicianship and good god, I'd be hard pressed to think of a metal vocalist who is better than Nils Molin. Dude has the range of Tony Harnell with the power and delivery of Dio. Fantastic.

Thanks, Glenn, for pointing out Crypt Sermon.....I went right out and bought a copy of this release. It's right in my wheelhouse. Holy cow...after the first listen I was thinking Sirens era Savatage mixed with Tad Morose....so yes, the Morgana Lefay comparison works, lol. One of my favorite...

I just picked up this release....REALLY good. Some of the songwriting reminds me a lot of the more melodic songs Pretty Maids would do (with less crunch), and to my ears, there's a strong Schenker/UFO feel with a tiny bit of Bad Company thrown in. Very classy, strong music....a great listen.

All that needs to be said is "PETTING THE CAT....PETTING THE CAT!!!!!"

Always up for some Freaky goodness. A fun release, in keeping with everything they've put out over the years.

This makes me very happy.

I was a HUGE fan of Nightwish, and I look at Floor Jansen as being one of THE BEST vocalists in rock and metal. I absolutely love her. And yet, it seems like Tuomas just doesn't know how to properly utilize Floor to her full potential. On paper, this should have been such a perfect match, but...

Like another wonderful Ayreon album....both Simone and Arjen at the top of their game. Fantastic!!!!

Very nice...a little chugging from Dynazty. And there's Nils Molin.....sitting comfortably in the Pantheon Of Godly Metal Singers. Holy cow, that guy is amazing.

Mike Tirelli is a monster....just a great metal singer. I loved his work with Messiah's Kiss . And there's the Burning Starr stuff too.

I love this band, especially when they stay on the heavy side with tons of middle-eastern flavor.

Hot damn...sounds promising! Even without Midnight and Drenning, this sounds like they've tapped into the classic sound. Nice!

This sounds amazing...and any time I can hear more Girish Pradhan vocals is a good thing. He's become one of my favorite metal/rock singers....dude has talent.

No on the fence for me....I LOVE this band. Engberg is a beast of a singer....been a fan since his Lion's Share days. I love the style of the band too....sort of a more melodic Candlemass, like back when Thomas Vikstrom sang for them on Chapter VI. I'm really excited for this release.
