Dutch hardrock act Vengeance should need no further introduction. Formed back in 1983 the band have released several albums during their career but also been put on hold twice during the years. Today they are mostly known for their ex-guitarist Arjen Anthony Lucassen which might not reallly be fair. In 2006 the returned for the second time, now without Arjen, and released the comeback album Back In The Ring. Then 3 years later it was time for the successor of their comeback album called Soul Collector. Most compositions were written by producer Michael Voss, who again managed to make the album sound as it should. Only one track is co-written by Leon Goewie and Jan Somers while former band member Arjen Lucassen contributed a song to this album called Samurai, a clear referral to the band’s most appreciated album Arabia. The fact that Michael Voss isnt a Lucassen or Verschuren makes it feel like the band is searching for a new identity while still trying to sound very much like Vengeance. Vocalist Leon Goewie still sounds great so I see no reason why Vengeance fans shouldnt like this one
