Actually, that sounds pretty damned good.

I dunno about "damned good." I'd have to hear more. Also, wasn't Rise with a female vocalist? Is this another new singer?

[heavyharmonies 229]

Infinitely better than Rise IMO. There are samples of both albums on their website. While the new lead vocalist will never match the original, once the vocal harmonies kick in, it appears quite enjoyable. I preordered.

[metalmaniac777 16]

Those samples give me hope where previously I had none, given what a disaster "Rise" was. Obviously they're never going to touch the brilliance of their debut, but you can hear the hooks & harmonies and they do indeed sound pretty damned solid. That female vocalist was always a mistake, so it was great to see they jettisoned that failed experiment. New singer is no James Salters, but he gets the job done.

[Dead Planet 240]

Yeah I'll need to hear more than that snippet......although the snippet sounds decent....

[metalmaniac777 16]

Solid stuff, and eons betters than the last atrocity they released.

[KarpetRydOFunk 334]

Ok, yeah, that's not bad.

First two albums were classic so am hopeful about this one. I'm even more keen for the new Trytan release that I have pre-ordered from Soundmass.

Not sure I'd call the 2nd album "classic" but it was a solid enough hard rock album. I wasn't even aware Trytan had a new release coming out, but they were never one of my favorite bands anyway.

That 2014 release with the female lead vocals was HORRIFICALLY bad.

The new male vocalist at least seems capable and the sound sample was promising.

I preordered, but the smart money says wait until there are more samples.
