X-Sinner new song released!

X-SINNER added to its MySpace page a new song, “Forgive Them”, from its next album World Covered In Blood: www.myspace.com/xsinnernews

I have been really looking forward to this album for a long time but, I have to say I hope it is not the finished version because it is just not that good.
The mix is dreadful and the vocals are all over the place.
PLEASE tell me this isn't the finished album version...

I think this is more of a demo version. The music sounds fine. But, I'll admit that the vocals need some work. It's sounds like they are really trying to go for that AC/DC clone sound on the verses, and the choruses sound like they are trying to mimick Cinderella.

But, I'm pretty sure that the final version will be smokin'!

I like it alot!!!

Nothing wrong with mimicking Cinderella. I to don't like the vocals at all on the song. I hope it is a demo b/c I'll pass if that's what the whole album sounds like vocally

With a lot of reverb added to the vocals, and add some backing harmonies, and the new song will sound a lot like "Steppin' On Toes" that plays next on their MySpace player.

I'd still guess that this is a demo recording, but you never know. It does seem like X-sinner is taking the whole "AC/DC Clone" allegations seriously and really playing that up on the new track.

Loved the song, but the vocals are a bit ropey. If they can sort out that problem, then it'll be stellar.

The vocals are good, just not ironed out enough for an album release.

Strangely enough, it reminded me (the chorus, anyway) of Guy Ritter's HOLY DANGER stuff. (i.e. great but a bit abrasive)

Didn't we already have a thread about this song last week.

I think I remember saying I liked it. But yes it does sound like demo quality. The mix seems a tad uneven.

I like their Def Leppard sounding stuff much better.

Hopefully they are not another band in the long line of bands that should have stayed retired... I too hope the vocals are a lot better..

I can relate to going through dozens of mixes per song. You keep redoing the mix and redoing the mix until you get something you think you can live with. Most bands go through this if they are recording their project themselves. Otherwise, your producer would be doing this for you with the help of your sound engineer at the studio.

You were right Staybrite at the begin of January there was a thread about the new X-Sinner song too.

I'm sure I'm gonna love it. I have predicted that the new Saint, Stryper, and X-Sinner albums will be my top 3 (not in that order) favorites for the year.

Welcome to CHM, X-Sinner!

This record was recorded with the intent of stripping down the huge layered background vocals and showing a more "real" perspective of how the band sounds live.

Great News.
Just as long as the band is happy with the work, I doubt I will have any complaints.

Welcome to CHM X=Sinner, always great to hear from the bands we love.

Rex sings more in the style of Get It on this one more than like he did on Peace Treaty

Yes, I hear that in Forgive Them, and because I love that style better than Peace Treaty I'm really looking forward to the album. It'll be in my top 5 of the year, I am sure (along with Stryper, Saint, Seventh Avenue and possibly Seventh Power - what's with all those S's!!!!)

I liked the song they had, but not the yowling vocals on that version. It sounded strained, very strained in spots, to me. If he didn't stretch so much for some notes it would have been killer. I hope they go for diversity like they did on "The Angry Einsteins" project, but make it more solid rock and roll type diversity.

X-Sinner, welcome to Christian Hard Music.
I am very looking forward how the other songs sound on "world covered In Blood".
