Their previous release "Nine Tongues" (great cover art) was solid, but not on the same level. They were still using two singers.

They also became more focused with the direction of the band on "Avenger". On "Nine Tongues" there is a song or two that doesn't even sound like it's by the same band. I thought that "Avenger" was a big step forward. They went from being local heroes to being a serious player. I would pick up "Avenger" and then go back and grab "Nine Tongues" if you really dig what they're doing. It's almost worth it just for "Call of the Wolf".

After you've checked out "Avenger" let us know what you think.

P.S. - by the way, if you like, go to [url=http://www.askaband.com]www.askaband.com[/url] to check out some sound clips.

Did you mean "Blood Of The Wolf"?

I heard some clips. They sort of sound like old Queensryche to me. I wasn't overly impressed. I may pick up Avenger,but it isn't a priority.

I'd also throw in a high recommendtion for "Avenger." They don't really remind of Maiden, though, more like early Omen.

Yep, "Blood of the Wolf".

Queensryche? What did you listen to? I hear very little QR in them.
