His iconic voice had such a classic power and melodic depth, so talented. And then, drummer Jim Chaffin was replaced with Jeffrey McCormack (no, not our <em>Heaven\u2019s Metal<\/em> guy). &nbsp;Nevertheless, Nick Layton and Roger Dale Martin had to figure out how to keep the band moving forward with another vocalist \u2013 no small task \u2013 and a new drummer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Enter Mark Boals, singer and bassist. Boals is most remembered for his vocal contributions to Yngwie Malsteen, especially the <em>Trilogy<\/em> album, but he also had his own solo career along with his more recent contributions with Foundry. To me, he is a great cross between Klaus Meine (Scorpions) and Michael Sweet (Stryper). And McCormack works well with Martin to anchor the rhythms. In other words, it\u2019s all good in the Reign of Glory camp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"REIGN OF GLORY - HIGHER GROUND\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/XKbS0j2relI?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Perhaps the only caveat of change from <em><a href=\"https:\/\/heavensmetalmagazine.com\/index.php\/2022\/08\/11\/reign-of-glory-all-will-bow\/\">All Will Bow<\/a><\/em>, from my perspective, would be that the general vibe of <em>Slingshot<\/em> feels less cutting-edge melodic metal and just a bit more like a heavy Gospel praise rock album. This isn\u2019t bad, it\u2019s just different. And I think many of the songs have a similar pace and melody, so there is a more homogenous groove from song to song. The execution and mix are brilliant, it\u2019s just there is a sameness that sets the ear just a bit to listener fatigue by track 5.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On the other hand, there is a beauty in \u201cHoly, Holy, Holy\u201d that is undeniably inspiring. And I love Boals on \u201cMore Than a Memory\u201d and \u201cUnashamed\u201d where he really channels the best qualities of Sweet and Meine. These are great songs. And the final track \u201cToo Close to Midnight\u201d reminds me of the best gritty melodic rocker qualities of Whitecross \u2013 the faster pace appreciated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In listening to <em>Slingshot<\/em> after many spins of both digital and vinyl renderings, I still conclude that <em>All Will Bow<\/em> has a more distinct sound and execution. Granted, the vocalist change was huge \u2013 Boals is grand in his own rite \u2013 but the songs here just feel a bit less creative, more scripted, more derivative and less edgy and innovative. Nevertheless, fans of the band and this style will likely embrace <em>Slingshot<\/em> with open arms, as they should, because the sound quality and musician execution is solid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/roxxrecords.com\/collections\/roxx-records\/products\/reign-of-glory-slingshot-lp-brand-new-sophomore-all-star-release\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Roxx Records<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Track List:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">1.
