I'll have to strongly disagree with the other reviewers on this album. While Battlehymns wasn't the greatest metal album ever, it did show a lot of promise for things to come. Unfortunately, this album let me down BIG TIME !! This is one of only two Manowar albums I don't like (Hail to England is the other one.) The songs are chaotic and fail to convey any sort of feeling whatsoever. Listening to this album you get the feeling someone told them they had a week to put their next album together and this is what happened. About the only thing positive about this disaster is that it shows Manowar slowly slipping into their own groove, with songs like Gates of Valhalla and March for Revenge. The lyrics are already at true Manowar ability but the music is a poor excuse for musicianship. If you're looking for true glory, keep riding!
