You'd expect it more from Frontiers, but it's Napalm who put a couple of bands in a mansion and made something like scripted reality TV.

It's nice that there are subtitles in the other language (German or English).

This is lacking some power and depth. For example some choirs in the chorus would add some width.

You're right, why having a sing along chorus when there is nobody singing along I was pretty sure the girls in the video will be the background vocals.

Strange, they are on YouTube but sadly not on Spotify.

As best I can tell, it’s Acousticyzed re-issued with new artwork, and in all the various formats mentioned. This is exactly why I didn’t worry about picking it up earlier this year, as I figured MS would whip out the holy schlong and try to get the hardcore fans to shell out for a second version. 

Your profile pic shows Michael Sweet after the first release has been sold out, right?

That's the thing about people being offended. If you didn't intend to offend anyone and they get all offended, I think it is on them. People like NYOILERS though, they intentionally offend people with their awful Taylor Swift fanboy posts.

Why? The numbers in the orginal post are impressive and Swift is indeed a phenomenon that achieves remarkable things. And it's posted in General Music.

Edit: I don't like her music either.

The nice voice will change for future records, according to Graywolf's Facebook page:

With a mix of tears and smiles, we must announce a change at the forefront of GRAYWOLF. Our singer KEVIN VOLKEN will unfortunately be leaving the band due to personal reasons. After two wonderful and intense years (along with numerous in his musical career), Kev has decided to take a break from music. We’re obviously deeply sad about Kev's decision, but we all wish him the very best with his future endeavors. The friendship remains unbroken despite him leaving the band.

At the same time, we are thrilled to announce REMO "ELMO" SCHÜPBACH as our new singer. Some of you may know "Elmo" as the frontman of the retro-rockers BRAINHOLZ, where he will continue to sing. When one door closes, another one opens, and we have been very fortunate to find a new great singer. Elmo will be performing at all future GRAYWOLF shows, and we can't wait to introduce him to all of you soon.

Kev, we sincerely thank you for the incredibly awesome time we had with you. We wish you all the best for the future and look forward to welcoming you as a guest at one of our gigs. We love you, dude!

And this is what Kevin and Elmo have to say:

May I introduce a Swiss singer who is obviously not yet represented here (perhaps for reasons): Seraina Telli.

I don't understand how you can make an official music video in portrait format, but I like the sound.

2015 - 2019: Leader of the metal band Burning Witches with successful European tours. She was a founding member and also co-songwriter on the first two studio albums.

Since 2019, she has been touring solo and with her own band Dead Venus.

2022: Debut solo album 'Simple Talk' reaches number 2 in the Swiss charts.

She toured Europe with CoreLeoni (fall 2022) and The New Roses (spring 2023).

If you're interested, you can check out her YouTube-Channel.

The logo is cool. Somehow.

And somehow not.

Okay, I listened to the track, becausec I read Steve Perry (and not your text). Then the song didn't grab me at all. Then I read the rest. Then I was reassured. Then I skipped.

In my opinion this sound fits better to Daves voice than the Fighter V sound.

From time to time I like music like Dave & the Dudes. I mean, it's much better than the pop charts. But I also prefer the "Fighter V with new voice" sound.

Nevertheless, I like to see, what musicians do besides their usual paths or after leaving a specific genre behind.

I'm surprised Dave & the Dudes aren't represented here (or I can't find them).

Dave is the former singer of Fighter V, who had to stop singing for health reasons and has been back with a new formation for some time now.

Is that not enough rock for HH?

The kind of AOR Giorgio Moroder made, "Dangerious" could be a Koreana Track.

The Teresa thing I don't like at all, maybe because I saw the video. But I really like Dangerous. Thanks for sharing.

Song released a few weeks earlier of the same album

Edit: I just realized that you didn't post one song, but an entire playlist. sorry, my contribution is redundant.

I don't like it, but I guess my son would. At least it sounds like the bands he's listening to. And those bands he mostly describes as garage rock.

I just listened to their most played songs on Spotifiy and wouldn't call it 100 % punk either. But it's definitely closer to Punk than to AOR.

LOL - listened to 'New Town' some time ago and really had to check if it was Shania.

He means that both songs released so far were great. So two out of two were good tracks.

Okay, obviously I think way too far.
Thank you for explaining.

YES, 2 for 2

Sorry for my off-topic question.

As someone who is not a native English speaker, I don't understand your 2/2 or 2 of 2.
What does that mean? I have found various references via Google, but none seem to fit here.

Is this used like a rating, in the style of 10 stars out of 10 stars? Just wondering...

Oh, wow, cool sound.
They just have a new follower on Spotify.

Good stuff...and July ain't that far away guys..its May next week 

Shut up. Eight months till x-mas.

It seems the older I get, the faster the fucking time runs.

Ah, I love it. If they carry on like this, the videos will soon be more elaborate than the tracks.

It's a pity that the album won't be released until July.

Don't get what new this brings to aor/melodic rock, but I like it.

In my opinion, this song would be better as an instrumental track.

25 year history? I thought this band were pretty new on the scene, where have I been?

Haha, 14 years later and I think the exactly same thing, just change the number to 39.

I just "discovered" 7th Heaven this week.

AOR leans more towards pop and melodic hard rock leans towards metal / hard rock, right?

Yes.

The more Synths, the more AOR.

Edit: I'm not sure, but I think the "official" term is Melodic Rock. Without the hard.

Looks like some AI generated art. 

Hopefully it sounds better than it looks.
