Many would have missed these Swedish metalheads, but now is the time to hunt down the releases by this amazing band. If I'd heard this as a young metaller I'm sure I'd have found such anthemic metal so exciting, and you will too. Far more sincere and atmospheric than Manowar, the imagery alone will have you lighting the fires and taking to the forests. This is a true heavy metal meltdown that deserves the attention of all those warriors who call themselves real metal fans. This is traditional heavy rock that conjures images of fantasy, or frozen wastes inhabited by great beasts, and leather-clad mercenaries on a metal mission. Musically it still stands the test of time, even if the titles are a tad dated, but who cares when the music is just so beefy and to the core of the kingdom. '...Heavy Metal Angels', 'The Guitar Is My Sword', damn it, gather round barbarians and bang that head which you forgot how to bang and grab everything this band ever did. Hell ain't a bad place to be when you consider bands such as Heavy Load are willing to play there...great album cover as well.
8/10
