5.0 out of 5 stars
...unleash the vinyl...,
By
This review is from: Hammer Battalion [VINYL] (Vinyl)
The latest installment of the SPV / Steamhammer 25th birthday celebrations, and it's more metal mayhem with this set.
UNLEASHED / KAMELOT vinyl reissues UNLEASHED - Hammer Battalions Unleashed have been pounding out Viking death metal for two decades now, so when this came out last year, I was amazed at the power, potency and malevolence that ran through songs like the anti-Christian tracts `The Greatest Of All Lies' and `Long Before Winters Call', and the metal call to arms of the title track. Now, it sounds even better, as it appears on vinyl, although what I would have given for a full on 2LP release! Even so, the urge to lift my battle axe and start cleaving grows stronger with every play. A bona fide classic, replete with gatefold sleeve. KAMELOT - The Black Halo As delighted as I was to see "Ghost Opera" coming out on heavy duty vinyl, nothing could prepare me for the sheer, unadulterated pleasure of placing my needle in the groove, and having `March Of Mephisto' blaring from the speakers! It's the kind of thing that almost makes life worth living. This release is probably my favourite so far, as it's presented in 2LP fashion, with the glorious artwork spread across the gatefold an inner sleeves. It's a thing of utter beauty and I've spent almost as much time looking at it, as I have playing it. Some of Kamelots best songs so far, are here, with the aforementioned `March', `Soul Society' and, of course, `Memento Mori' amongst the finest prog / power metal crossover tunes you are ever likely to hear. Based loosely on Goethe's "Faust", this is the kind of thing that metal was invented for. Sadly, there is no number bigger than 5 on the ratings scale, but if there were a 6, this would get it. Absolutely awesome.

Incredibly GOOD,
By Alvaro Isava Tirado - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Hammer Battalion (Audio CD)
Good Death Metal on these days is a rare thing, for us fans of the old school. The great bands either are already done or living of past glories. Surprisingly, the last 2 years have brought us really good albums, among them "Hammer Battalion". To listen this crushing themes is like going back to 1992. Guitars here are the big stars, and the guys did a really good work on the writng of the songs. The solos and riffs are neck-breaking and Johnny is in top form with his vocals.... very, very high quality stuff. If you liked Shadows In The Deep & Across Open Sea, you're gonna enjoy this. Dearly. Not for the tender hearted.

Sounds like a live performance,
By Chris Lund - Published on Amazon.com
Just a quick, smash-mouth performance by the "Warriors." From the opening scream , through the awesome drums to the final killer riff, this is a must-have for fans of true death metal.
I saw these guys live a month ago, and whether its live imitating recorded performance, or vice versa, these guys are awesome. I also recommend Midvinterblot, their previous release too. 3 of 3 people found the following review helpful:
