Bob Mitchell's high, screeching singing style will ... more ... likely provide the largest barrier here, and will take some getting used to by those unaccustomed to the excesses of power metal singers, but fortunately I felt right at home. He only really becomes irritating when singing the sillier vocal melodies of songs such as 'Downfall,' but as a sort of apology, that song then erupts into a roaring instrumental second half that rivals anything similar that would later be attempted by the similarly-annoying-vocalled Megadeth. The guitar performance form Pat Marinelli and Jim Moone...more |

I can't tell you how much I enjoyed this album: an early example of American power metal that certainly isn't without its faults, but showcases pretty much everything that's so ridiculously entertaining about 1980s metal. The band hails from New Jersey, and this was their first full-length release, reasonably highly publicised by the record label thanks to Attacker's inclusion on some notable compilations of the time, but one that soon faded into comparative obscurity and decline. It's a shame, because 'Battle at Helm's Deep' is every bit as talented and enjoyable as much of the speed metal that was sweeping across Europe at the time from the likes of Helloween and ...

Good powerful music 
Not as good as the 87 album Another fantastic metal opera by Tobias Sammett lots of guest vocals None for me Good vocals. More of the same, and the same wasn't that good. Great band None None Everything about it!Versus The World - Amon Amarth
Great drums and maintenance of the longboat sound. Songs blur together and lack the energy of earlier releases.
Temple Of Shadows - Angra
Well-plotted progressive power metal classic. Deviates from its power metal base significantly by the end.
Nordland Vol.1 - Bathory
Excellent return to the Viking metal style, sorting out some of its inherent problems. Songs tend to over-run, and heavier songs seem rather impersonal.
Nordland Vol.2 - Bathory
Final masterpiece of unrelenting Viking metal, less showy and more atmospheric. Some songs are waaaaaaaaaaaaay too long.
Night At The Opera - Blind Guardian
Prog fans will be happy, and some songs make good use of the new sound. Disappointing change of style resulting in a difficult album to listen to, with few stand-out moment
Forgotten Tales - Blind Guardian
Some great covers and the band's fine acoustic work reproduced. Some less great covers, and overall an unbalanced perspective on the band.
Fistful Of Metal - Anthrax
Brilliant debut, with all you could ask of a high-speed, early thrash album. Lacks discipline, and 'I'm Eighteen' is a bit rubbish.
Aurora Consurgens - Angra
Continues right where 'Temple of Shadows' left off, with the same progressive elements. Over-reliance on slow, emotional numbers that don't really work, and sound badly dated.
Alternative 4 - Anathema
Pleasant mix of doom and atmospheric rock without straying too far from Anathema's roots. Central songs lack individuality, and the whole thing may be too dull for some.
A Twist In The Myth - Blind Guardian
Blind Guardian aren't completely written off yet, and the album may attract new fans. Folk tendencies now work to its disadvantage, as do the other traits left over from the last release
