Orange County hardcore legends Ignite proved yet again that there is life after the departure of their long time singer Zoli Teglas. New vocalist Eli Santana is more than capable and I love how the band does not copy old times with new singer, rather staying in more faster, aggressive and hardcore side of things, at the same time retaining melody. This one is a keeper! I can´t wait to hear the new album as a whole.
Taken from the Album “Ignite”, Out March 25th, 2022
Orange County hardcore punk legends prove that there is a bright future after the departure of their long time singer Zoli Teglas. New vocalist Eli is superb! Check this one out!
When Zoli Teglas, former vocalist of Orange County s Ignite left the band everybody thought it is over with the band, me inclusive. Although bassist Brett is the only original member remaining in the band, I am so glad these melodic hardcore institution continued with teasing us on their social media with photos from studio, recording new music and keeping new voice secret, making me guess who the heck is it. We only knew it is not Zoli again. But, I never imagined Eli Santana of Holy Grail would be their choice. This guy has one of the nicest voices I have heard in a long time. This new e.p. contains new song, being title song and great video full of energy and it is so great to have more uptempo hardcore Ignite with energy, melody and great lyrics with superb melodies. The other song is a remake of an old classic taken from debut album. I can t wait for the new album, I have the feeling it is going to be superb.
