Dune's female singer changed a while back, and I agree, their early work rocks (Especially Hand in Hand and Hardcore Vibes) but I really like some of their more recent work. Ever heard their song "Club Bizarre"? I think that's with their newer singer and I absolutely love it. It could also be a Metallica thing = they're trying new styles before their classic feel gets old (btw, as a note, I hate the "new" Metallica. Black Album or bust, baby).
Might have to look for that... Since the new singer, I've heard
Electric Heaven and another single (
Promise, perhaps?) and they were both crap.
Did you listen to their album
Forever. Not hardcore at all, it's symphony covers of other songs. They did a really good job on it.
