Any ATTACKER fans here?

[Iced Ray]

Just curious to see if anyone else enjoys this criminally underrated band. Also, any opinions on their new album The Unknown?

I have downloaded "Battle At Helm's Deep" but it never got me enough to get into the band.

I love that album, great stuff. If you don't dig that one, you prolly won't dig the other albums tho.

what kind of music they play.

Its US power metal, a mix of trad and speed metal. Here are a few songs to check out:

I disagree that people wouldn't be likely to like at least The Second Coming if they didn't like the debut.

I can't argue with you since I don't own it yet.

Their other 3 albums rule mightily tho.

Not bad at all.
captives of babylon was great
Sounds like mercyfull fate. IMO

Very cool band indeed! Some people are turned off because of Bob Mitchell's vocals, he has a bit of an Udo thing going on. Mitchell however is not on their second release (Second Coming). He is on the last 2 albums though.

If you like Attacker you should also give VYNDYKATOR a listen ( http://www.vyndykator.net ). It's Mitchell's other band. They only have 1 album (Heaven Sent From Hell) that was released in between the last 2 Attacker releases.

Was just looking at the Vyndykator site. It looks like Bob left the band last year, I didn't know about that. Sux. They were a cool band.

ME, ME, ME, ME!

But then I should check "Second Coming", since the samples I heard from "Soul Taker" also drove me off.

I like the latest Attacker; a lot! Excellent US metal and yea, his voice reminds me of Udo Dierksneider now and them. But thats not a problem. I have been an Accept fan since the the release of the 1981 Breaker album. Although I like their early albums more than their later releases.

I really dig Bob's vocals. To me, its kinda mixing Udo and Halford which both are metal gods, IMO.

And yes, that Vyndykator disc is very good as well.

And if you are looking for more of Bob's work, check out Sleepy Hollow. I have the best of compilation Rest in Pieces and it also kicks a alot of ass as well.

:raises hand:

Great live band as well!

How's the new album compared to Soul Taker? I need to get it ASAP...

 

[Witchhunter]

I've only hear their 80's stuff and only can judge them by that 2 albums and like Iced Ray said they are criminally underrated!
I don't see what's the problem with Bob's vocals??? Comparing with Udo is a good thing .
So is anyone who has listened all their album can compare their new stuff with 80's albums?
