The Rocker Posted May 1, 2019 Report Share Posted May 1, 2019 Really like the debut. Not that he 's bad or anything, but change of vocalist could/should be a good thing and improve the band. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was going to type the same exact thing I liked the debut also but it did take me some time to warm to the vocals. Basically, the songs and music were pretty instant with the whole "Midnite City" vibe....But I had to listen a few times to let the vocals sink in. Really interested to hear how they sound with Phil.

lettard Posted May 1, 2019 Report Share Posted May 1, 2019 Another bit of nice news,liked the debut so ill give this a listen also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff Posted May 2, 2019 Report Share Posted May 2, 2019 Haha, no idea who this new vocalist is, but I agree with you guys. I think a new vocalist will be a good thing for this band. I love Zinatra, but he just didn't work out with the Nitrate debut. I reckon this second one should be a cracker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tts42572 Posted May 2, 2019 Report Share Posted May 2, 2019 This page has links to sound bytes.....Sounding pretty good to my ears. https://rockposer.com/2019/05/02/nitrate-new-signing-on-aor-heaven-new-album-open-wide-out-june-21st-2019/?fbclid=IwAR1Ku9V0Pu_buKxd5igancs65YReAQcF2yScb8j-viqD4ZkgxX-M3L0R6Hg Nitrate is back bigger & better with their second album ‘Open Wide’ following on from their successful and highly rated debut ‘Realworld’ from 2018. The album will bre released on June 21st, 2019 on AOR Heaven. Inspired by the late 80’s rock scene with bands such as Def Leppard, Europe, Motley Crue, and Bon Jovi, Nitrate is the brainchild of song writer Nick Hogg (bass guitar/keyboards). Once again, Rob Wylde (Midnite City/ Tigertailz/ Teenage Casket Company) co-wrote, produced the album and played rhythm guitar. Back on drums & mixing is Pete Newdeck (Midnite City, Eden’s Curse, Blood Red Saints, Newman). New to Nitrate are Marcus Thurston (Vega) who took over lead guitar duties and on lead vocals and, all the way from Sweden, Philip Lindstrand (Find Me, East Temple Avenue, Strong). The mastering was once again handled by Harry Hess (Harem Scarem). Nitrate’s follow up album packs more punch than the first, with a more edgier, in your face feel complete with 10 hard hitting Hair Metal/AOR/Melodic Rock tracks with all out hooks and big backing vocals. Line up: Nick Hogg – Bass Guitar & Keyboards Rob Wylde – Rhythm Guitars, Keyboards, Backing vocals Philip Lindstrand – Lead & Backing Vocals Pete Newdeck – Drums & Backing vocals Marcus Thurston – Lead Guitar Produced by Rob Wylde; Mixed by Pete Newdeck; Mastered by Harry Hess ; Engineered by Leon Bailey & Pete Newdeck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whether or not the new guy is a better singer or not that Joss (and technically, he's probably not by a long stretch) he's a much better fit for this band. Love it immensely.

Sodium nitrate is used to cure pork. I can only imagine the band meeting. "So Tommy what you got?" "Uhhm, duh uhhm Septic Talon?" "No that's no good." "Jimmy what you got?" "Well I'm partial to Delilah's Septum." "Not bad not bad at all..." "Keith what about you?" "OK boys strap in here's the name, RU ready........NITRATE!" The whole band in uni-some ala Bill & Ted : "WHOOOOAAA! EXCELLENT!" Feckin' ding dongs. And for the record, the songs made my balls retreat back into my body.

Geoff Posted June 1, 2019 Report Share Posted June 1, 2019 So the obvious thing that's happening here is that the debut was MC b-sides and leftovers, regardless of the vocals that didn't suit the material. This new stuff is easily as good as MC, and in the case of some of these songs (particularly 'Only a heartache away' and 'Night time city') it actually sounds even better than the excellent MC. Cannot wait for this release and it'll be interesting to see if anything outdoes it for album of the year when it easily shoots up to top spot on the 21st of June.

Ponen Posted June 1, 2019 Report Share Posted June 1, 2019 Agree with most of the comments above. I think we have an absolute gem here. Going by the 3 songs and if the rest of the album is as good or better than these songs then am sure this album will eclipse Crazy Lixx and First Signal by a long way. Might even be better than Midnite City's second album. Will see... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way, looking like it'll be a very solid release. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
