Great music but the vocals are a huge turnoff for me I´m afraid.

They are the only band with such vocals that I like.

Btw, he can also sing less aggressively - you can check their classic ballad ''The Ballad Of Mary (Queen Of Scots)'' :

New album called Bone Collector will be released early next year. It's said to be ''back to the roots of heavy metal'' record.

The album cover is created by AI and it's noticeable and bad. Sad and disappointing, they had a tradition with the covers.
-> the songs are 11.

The last 2 albums were very good, but this new one will be the first with the new guitarist.
 
The first single ''Kingdom Of Skulls'' is a short rocker. A heavy one. But aside from the bass intro, the main riff and the solo, I'm not a fan at all. The song is not bad, it has an early days/classic vibe for the band and a modern Accept vibe.

The 2nd single ''Killing Is My Pleasure'' is another short rocker. Early days (and even more classic) vibe again. The riffing is great (familiar riff), the chorus has a melody which is good, while the wild solo and drumming suit it. Better than the first one for sure. It seems like the album will be heavier.

I prefer "Kingdom Of Skulls". I don't like the melody in the second single so much.
 
The 3rd single is bland imo. Again old school/Accept/heavy rock vibe (something common for the whole album?), nice riff, same chorus. At least it's fun to some extent. Rockers after rockers.
