At a time when ║ │ │║ power metal was being defined and saturated by ║ │ │║ overproduction, gimmicks and bombast there was a ║ │ │║ salivating need for a band to come in with their ║ │ │║ foot on the gas pedal ready to bum rush the ║ │ │║ castle gates and absolutely slaughter the ║ │ │║ inhabitants. Seeing as how this was the first ║ │ │║ real international exposure for the band this ║ │ │║ was likely to be most people's first album and ║ │ │║ after the brief marching intro there was no ║ │ │║ question what Stormwarrior has come to do. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ The title track is absolutely blistering. So ║ │ │║ fast it breaks the light barrier and so visceral ║ │ │║ it breaks teeth like a kick to the face. And ║ │ │║ this doesn't let up. Track to track the band ║ │ │║ careens out of control breaking ear drums and ║ │ │║ banging heads the entire way all the while ║ │ │║ playing a style of power metal that was thought ║ │ │║ lost. In the post-Hammerfall, post-Rhapsody age ║ │ │║ the second wave seemed to either play overly ║ │ │║ slow or overly symphonic, forgetting completely ║ │ │║ about the Hamburg days of the 80's where Eagle ║ │ │║ Fly Free, Fast as a Shark and Under the Jolly ║ │ │║ Roger reigned supreme. The spirit of these glory ║ │ │║ days lives on and there couldn't be a better ║ │ │║ poster child in Stormwarrior. Especially with a ║ │ │║ band-defining track like Remember the Oathe. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ Of course the lyrical content is a bit trite. ║ │ │║ The viking thing has sort of been played out by ║ │ │║ 2008 and there are many more bands that are ║ │ │║ doing it quite a bit better (Tyr and Rebellion ║ │ │║ for example) but that can add to the charm of ║ │ │║ the band. These guys are really around to just ║ │ │║ kick ass and play music so if the words coming ║ │ │║ out of their mouths are nothing more than ║ │ │║ rallying cries for shows packed full of ║ │ │║ metalheads (Metal Legacy) than so be it! And ║ │ │║ with a vocalist such as Lars Ramcke at the helm ║ │ │║ there couldn't be a more electrifying presence. ║ │ │║ With a voice that could melt wax it's a welcome ║ │ │║ change from those who are too obsessed with ║ │ │║ theatrics and operatics to just let loose and ║ │ │║ scream into the mic without caution. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ The crossover potential of the group is also ║ │ │║ palpable. Considering how most death, black and ║ │ │║ thrash fans look down their noses at power metal ║ │ │║ as the lesser of the "true" metals its nice to ║ │ │║ hear a band so intense in their attack that you ║ │ │║ can imagine someone with a denim jacket enjoying ║ │ │║ Lion of the Northe as much as someone with ║ │ │║ corpse paint. The chops are there as well. There ║ │ │║ is plenty of razor sharp riffs and chaingun ║ │ │║ solos to appease any frethead and the bass is ║ │ │║ loud enough to give a punk rock edge to the ║ │ │║ whole thing. Of course Falko Reshoft needs to be ║ │ │║ given a lot of credit for his incredible ║ │ │║ speed... and without blast beats! ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ The downfall of the album is not how brief it ║ │ │║ is, thats par for the course when you want a ║ │ │║ direct attack, its Revenge of Asa Lande. ║ │ │║ Ragnarok and Metal Legacy SHOULD have been as ║ │ │║ slow as the album got with their anthemic, yet ║ │ │║ still double-bass led, arrangements. ║ │ │║ Unfortunately the band got a little too bogged ║ │ │║ down in conceptualism and the result is a song ║ │ │║ that is ultimately out of place in an otherwise ║ │ │║ flawless release. This album can appeal to all ║ │ │║ metalheads and it is HIGHLY recommended; ║ │ │║ especially if all you want to do is bang your ║ │ │║ f'ing head! ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ Playlist Tracks: Heading Northe, Remember the ║ │ │║ Oathe, Lion of the Northe ║ │ │║ Throwaway Track: Revenge of Asa Lande ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ Lars Ramcke - Vocals, Guitars ║ │ │║ Alex Guth - Guitars ║ │ │║ Falko Resh÷ft - Drums ║ │ │║ Yenz Leonhardt - Bass ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ ║ │ │╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │╔═════════════════════╗ │ │║ Release Tracklist ║ │ │╚═════════════════════╩══════════════════════════════════════════ │ │ │ │ 01 - and the horde calleth for oden [00:39] │ │ 02 - heading northe [04:21] │ │ 03 - metal legacy [04:22] │ │ 04 - the holy cross [07:19] │ │ 05 - iron gods [04:02] │ │ 06 - ragnarok [04:16] │ │ 07 - the revenge of asa lande [05:16] │ │ 08 - remember the oathe [03:34] │ │ 09 - lion of the northe [06:40] │ │ 10 - into the battle [03:50] │ │ 11 - and the valkyries ride [01:10] │ │ 12 - night of the storme (bonus track) [04:40] │ │ │ │ Total Length : [50:09 minn │ │ │ │ │ │ ▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ ╔═════════════════════╗ │ │ ║ Greetings To: ║ │ │ ╚═════════════════════╝ │ │ │ │ Too all people who contributes to make this │ │ archive of good music in a exceptional conditions │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │■ ■│ └───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
