Sacred Warrior - Waiting in Darkness

Wow that sounds fantastic!!!!! I have never heard Eli's vocals so clearly. I was more than a little hesitant about having him replace Rey, but I gotta say he sounds fantastic (as does the band). Very very excited to get my hands on this album.

My quote from the CMR:

"I tried to like it, but I didn't. Maybe it will grow on me."

I listened again and still wasn't impressed.

I'm liking it. If Eli's voice were that clear on all 3 of The Sacrificed's albums, I might have kept them in the collection. I like the more modern metal sound and think it's a great progression for SW.

I know Eli had stated that allot of the vocal problems on the Sacrificed cds were a production problem. He sounds so good on here!! This is definately will be one I pick up!!!

Well I was wondering if they could go back and redo the vocals at least on the III cd? Because music wise it is very good, it would be nice if it had the caliber of vocals here on them!!

I like this better than Rebellion. That is the only SW album I own and my favorite track on it is the new song Day By Day. This new song at least to me is better than anything on Rebellion. Has a Maiden vibe to it.

It's growing on me...

I like it a lot.

I have not heard The Sacrificed, but if they buried those vocals in the mix that would be a crime.

I realy like it. Sounds brilliant to me. My favourite album by SW is Obsessions (by quite a distance actually). If this album is anywhere near as good as that then I'll be impressed.

Definitely on the list!

I get the feeling my 'wants' list is going to start getting longer and longer this year!

They aren't buried so much as run through too much processing that causes them to be difficult to hear.

WOW! Rey who?

Just kidding, obviously, but if that is representative of the album as a whole, I would say that they have "sacrificed" nothing with Eli on vocals. (buh dum, chick)

That's an awesome track. Every bit as good as the classic stuff, and yes, I heard the more Maidenish vibe. Methinks this is going to be a frequent spinner if they can get an album released.

VERY difficult to hear and even harder to understand. I have less trouble understanding Brazilian bands with poor enunciation.

I like the music but I do not care much for the vocals.

Different strokes and all...

I think they've chosen really well as Eli makes an excellent replacement for Rey. He's got the same kind of tone, whilst still sounding quite unique. I hope they make a number of albums with Eli as vocalist... but that's all a distant dream! Right now I'm just keen for the new CD!!!!
