New Jersey metallers ATTACKER have been joined by Bobby "Leatherlungs" Lucas (SEVEN WITCHES, OVERLORDE, MORBID SIN) as their new vocalist. Lucas is still currently in Overlorde, who are working towards a release of their own.

According to drummer Mike Sabatini, the band will focus on new material for their as-of-yet-untitled next album that they expect to release by year's end, adding: "We are extremely excited to have Bobby in the ranks bringing his talent to the table, we couldn't have asked for a better addition to the band, GAME ON! We've had a long but well needed break and are looking forward to playing shows again. We do what we do for the love of it and for the fans that do appreciate it and for no other reason than that. This stuff is in our blood!"

Bobby Lucas commented: "I am very happy and excited to be a part of the amazing ATTACKER! This is a band I have been a fan of since first hearing them on Metal Massacre 5 back in '86! I was hoping the right gig would eventually come along... I have been out of the original scene far too long, and here we are! It all seemed to fall into place. This band is right up my alley, classic TRUE POWER METAL! Hailz to all the Attacker fans. See you soon!"

Attacker has also been confirmed for the Metal Assault III festival, at Posthalle in Wurzburg, Germany. The festival will take place at the end of January 2013, the exact date is to be announced soon. Wurzburg just happens to be Bobby's place of birth, so this will be a very special show for him.


Interesting news and good to hear about Metal Assault!

He's a great singer. Excellent news about a new Overlorde album too! Return of the Snow Giant is incredible.

Cool article. I was hoping it would go into why Bob Mitchell has scooted off again,but how as ever. I've never heard Morbid Sin. Any use?

I'm not familiar with Morbid Sin. Stormspell Records have re-released some of their stuff. It's on the 'pull the finger out and buy' list.

Looks like Attacker have entered the studio;

Song with the new vocalist. Sounds fairly good.

This was originally made available in very limited copies when the band performed at the Keep It True Festival in Germany in 2008. At the time, the song was called “Condemned” and had different lyrics. Bobby Lucas wrote the new lyrics for “Steel Vengeance”, which will be featured on the band’s next official release.

Curious to hear this forthcoming album! Lucas has a great voice although Mitchell has always been integral to Attacker for me. Everybody needs to hear his other band and going concern Sleepy Hollow. I love the old '80s EPs and the new album has just been released via High Roller.

Just had a listen to Attacker and they are great. I love that old artwork. Beyond cheesey but utterly savage!

I picked up Return of the Snow Giant when it came out as I'd heard 'Masque of the Red Death'(?) which was deadly but the new stuff was kind of boring. I love the original guy's vocals but your man Leather Lungs didn't do it for me at all.

Some clips from rehearsals for the new album. No vocals yet. Looking forward to hearing this when it finally comes out.

That sounds very promising. Attacker are an amazingly consistent band and I'm really looking forward to a new album
