...I saw the title and got excited, I thought you were talking about SYL "All hail the new flesh". That guy Looks cool anyway reminds me of the singer in the madhouse video by anthrax

Awesome! Just make sure you get the albums that Carl Albert sang on.

Warball wasn't bad with James Rivera.

Sounded like the dude from overkill to me. Am I missing something?

No, it wasn't...but James Rivera isn't nearly as good as Carl Albert...

Rex - The Carl Albert fronted albums:

Digital Dictator
Vicious Rumors
Welcome To The Ball
Jump In & Hang On...Live!
Word Of Mouth
A Tribute To Carl Albert

I sampled the stuff on the myspace page. Maybe I'd have to hear a full album to "get it".

He has a HUGE melodic range...the grit of Blitz, the passionate delivery of Dio and the screaming range of prime Halford...great vibrato and TONS of power...

Very good singer.

Hmm, I didn't get that from what I heard on the myspace.....other than the Bobby Blitz comparison.

Are the songs on the MySpace page new or old?

I know who he reminds me of now, David Wayne mixed with Bobby Blitz, lots of David Wayne in this guys voice.

Guys, remember Rex has that inner ear condition. Let's try to be sensitive to that. OK?

It's called "good taste".

Touche.

lol
Seriously, he's not bad at all and I can see the appeal. But sounds just like old Metal Church to me.

I've always thought Vicious Rumors and Metal Church had a similar sound as well. Being that I love that style, I suppose that's why I love both those bands.

Now someone send me a free vinyl or CD copy of "Soldiers of the Night"!

Was that you I finally scored "VR - A Tribute to Carl Albert" from, Shawn? Man, that thing was on my wantlist for about 8 years!! Love the guy, and especially that vocal style!

Btw, don't forget about Villian. He RIPPED on those albums, as well!!

Carl had a great voice.He does remind me of Blitz at times.

I've been out of touch with this band for over 20 years...when/how did he die?

The only album I ever had was the self-titled, but I remember it kicking serious ass.
