            Back for a second go around in 2001 following their
            1980's presence among the NWOBHM scene, Wolverhampton,
            England's Cloven Hoof are on their sixth studio album
            with "Resist or Serve". Bassist Lee Payne is the sole
            survivor so to speak from the old lineup to the new, but
            he's surrounded himself in a quartet of capable
            musicians that create more potent heavy metal through
            these 10 songs.
            Much of this material has a straightforward, heads down
            approach that lives for the mighty, solid guitar riff
            that can contain just as much melody and harmony
            elements as the choruses will vocally. "Helldiver"
            immediately grabbed my attention, the opening very
            Sabbath-y before picking up the pace a pinch and
            guitarist Joe Whelan's sinister vocals convey a bit of
            evil snarl - the minimalistic chorus simple and oh so
            effective. The twin guitar harmony runs from Whelan and
            fellow guitarist Chris Coss align seamlessly, often
            injecting a lot of power metal elements with occasional
            flash on personal highlight "Brimstone and Fire".
            Another aspect I enjoy about Cloven Hoof in 2014 is the
            fact that the production has more of an analog, old
            school feel - the tones are very primal to remind people
            that this is heavy metal and that you can be clear
            without having to Pro Tool every element sonically. Much
            of the riffing just has the 80's power and texture, not
            wasting any time getting to the heart of the matter -
            check out "Anti Matter Man" or the semi-dark "Premature
            Burial" that will implore incessant head banging
            moments.
            Given the second and third generation now digging deeper
            into a lot of the original NWOBHM acts, I think Cloven
            Hoof benefit greatly from their status and also
            delivering strong new material to boot. "Resist or
            Serve" should be essential for all British metal fans.
