5.0 out of 5 stars Incredibly GOOD, August 31, 2008

Good Death Metal on these days is a rare thing, for us fans of the old school. The great bands either are already done or living of past glories. Surprisingly, the last 2 years have brought us really good albums, among them "Hammer Battalion". To listen this crushing themes is like going back to 1992. Guitars here are the big stars, and the guys did a really good work on the writng of the songs. The solos and riffs are neck-breaking and Johnny is in top form with his vocals.... very, very high quality stuff. If you liked Shadows In The Deep & Across Open Sea, you're gonna enjoy this. Dearly. Not for the tender hearted.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sounds like a live performance, October 22, 2008

Just a quick, smash-mouth performance by the "Warriors." From the opening scream , through the awesome drums to the final killer riff, this is a must-have for fans of true death metal.
I saw these guys live a month ago, and whether its live imitating recorded performance, or vice versa, these guys are awesome.
I also recommend Midvinterblot, their previous release too.
