New Gun Barrel

Ok never see any mention of this band I have all 3 of their cds all are great. To me the border on hard rock/metal. To me they remind me alot of Motorhead!

I was just thinking i'm surprised there's no mention on this board of them. I think of them as German beer soaked AC/DC.

Never heard of 'em, but you can't argue with that cover art.

I am gonna argue that the art is a little derivative of Sodom, but that's just me knitpicking.

I said it here before and I'll say it again, I don't like their new Vocalist, I really liked Guido but not this dude, Cover art is a vast inprovement on the previous effort and the Sodom influences are uncanny.

I heard Battle Tested and think it is an awesome song but I've yet to get any of their albums to date.

You would.

I like Battle Tested and Power Dive but Bombard Your Soul didn't do much for me. I don't think it was the vocalist either. The songs just didn't click. I'll be checking out the new one though.

I have Power Dive and like it ok, but not enough to search for anything else by these guys. That was a blind buy, going strictly by the cover, band name & photo on the back. Looked metal enough, so I thought I'd give it a shot from the used bins at an FYE.

The new cover looks pretty cool, though.

Well I've listened to the new album twice today and maybe I'm being bias but the vocals are killing it for me, Musically they are superb as they have been on all previous releases but the vocals.......... ahh, I just don't know

Listening to this album now. And all I can say is My GOD awesome smurf poo. This will be on my short list to buy for sure. Might have to check out the other 2 albums The vocals remind me a little bit of Tobias from Edguy & Avantasia at times.. Good stuff

I knew there was a thread about this band/album around here somewhere... anyway, I recently got a promo of OUTLAW INVASION to review and I'm listening to it for the first time right now. Pretty decent stuff, certainly not the most original thing I've ever heard but still cool in a "retro" sort of way. I see some Motorhead and AC/DC comparisons in previous posts and that sounds pretty right-on, they're definitely a mesh of those two major influences. (And yes, the armored gas-masked guy on the cover definitely looks like they borrowed him from a Sodom album...) The vocalist reminds me of Marc Storace of Krokus at times, too.

Besides that, how can you not love a band with a song called "M.I.L.F."?

I bought this album at their CD release party in Cologne. I'm a big fan of this band, and I think the new album is better than Bombard your soul which was already a very good one. I saw the band now twiche live and they are a pretty good live band.

Bumping for some new opinions. I recently revisited the only album I own by these guys, Power Dive, and it got me to wondering if I need to invest, steal or outright avoid any others? Looks like they've got few albums out there.

Any thoughts, good, bad or indifferent are appreciated. Maybe one of our thoughtful, handsome and intelligent mods could bring this back to the land of the living too, while we're at it.
