Hammerheart - Bathory: The Viking Metal Classic (1119 words)

Rating:
The real start of Bathort's Viking metal era, 'Hammerheart' is the classic archetype of the genre, a slower and more atmospheric off-shoot of Scandinavian black metal infused with neofolk elements to strive for an authentic and historically accurate Viking sound, because everyone knows the ancient Norsemen had electric guitars and amps (it's all in the Völuspá). Bathory was a mere pseudonym for the multi-talented Quorthon by this point (obviously his own stage name was a pseudonym itself, but his real name is Ace so it doesn't get much better than that), and the shift in focus to deal with more explicit themes of Ancient Norse culture and mythology inspired him to create ...

One of the greatest metal albums of all time, lots of classics, a cohesive album, good lyrics, music and production 
A bit hard to swallow at first for some people, some of the guitar solos sound cheesey - but were probably still cool then, and are still exciting Brilliant atmosphere and excellent fusion of metal with neofolk. Too slow and atmospheric for old-school Bathory fans. Perfect if you want something loud on, Sounds rather 'Black Sabbath' in places . Not everybody's type of music 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. Final masterpiece of unrelenting Viking metal, less showy and more atmospheric. Some songs are waaaaaaaaaaaaay too long.The Execution Of All Things - Rilo Kiley
Rilo Kiley's finest hour Some of the songs, especially those sung by Sennett, are hard to get into
Unquestionable Presence - Atheist
Tight performance without excess. Too unpredictable for some.
This Woman - LeAnn Rimes
Country - Contemporary Country - 2005
The Art Of Dory Previn - Dory Previn
Easy Listening - 2008
So Red The Rose - Arcadia
Experimental and atmospheric, but retains a pop sensibility. The softer songs sound rather similar.
Sevens - Garth Brooks
Country - Contemporary Country - 2007
Late For The Sky - Jackson Browne
Really works as a whole album, Browne was hitting his stride. Could do with a digital spruce up and a dip into the vaults for extra material.
Jubileum Vol.1 - Bathory
Speed Metal & Thrash - 2004
