Can't see the video on this computer. Is Tsamis singing on this album?

Since I decided I was going to Keep It True I have been listening to a lot of WARLORD lately. Looking forward to this. Great artwork too. Reminds me of Candlemass.

WARLORD Perform At Keep It True XVI; Setlist Revealed, Video Footage Posted

I just got back from Keep It True...Warlord was such a HUGE letdown. They didnt have the guy on the new album singing. They had this austrailian singer who just couldnt hit the notes right. Plus there was some tech issues in the first part of the set that also made it sound not so good. Plus they were not very tight but that did get better near the last half of the set. While it was cool to see this rare appearance it just didnt live up to what I had hoped.

that sucks to hear. i have listened to the entire new album streaming online and I wasn't impressed at all. It just kind of meanders along with nothing really standing out and keeping my attention - which isn't the Warlord of the past. It is a shame because I own numerous versions of the catalog, but this will not be joining my collection.

yeah the new one is more Lordian Guard than Warlord in my opinion.

the new songs live didnt really go over because they are not that catchy. At KIT lots of people were leaving in the middle of thier set. One or two of the new songs sounded good but the rest just came across flat live.
