Sacred Steel is the ultimate Heavy Metal Band. If you like pure metal - songs of war and evil, riffs that will cut off your head, and pure song-writing perfection - than this is YOUR album!! Sacred Steel help to carry the Heavy Metal torch into the next decade, and they certainly draw their influence from bands like Manowar, Accept, Omen, Agent Steel, and Iron Maiden. The best songs off this long player are "Metal Reigns Supreme", "Battle Angel", Trapped in Hell", "True Force of Iron Glory", and the best Sacred song to date - "Sword of the King". The crazy thing is, their 2nd and 3rd albums (Wargods of Metal, and Bloodlust)are even better!! Buyer Beware - this album is ONLY for TRUE HEADBANGERS, who worship METAL!!

This is the kind of metal that defines every stereotype out there. Every song has terribly generic lyrics.....One of the songs starts out with: "Preparing virgin sacrifice". Really? Come on now, this kind of metal creates every stereotypical statement ever said about the genre. This band desperately tries to copy Judas Priest, which is funny but it doesn't really work. Shall I start on the singer? Or should I say "siren of Metal" as he is called in the booklet, he honestly has the worst voice I have ever heard. I'm not kidding, it sounds like Pee Wee Herman doing metal. I bought this at a used CD store, just for laughs, and thats about all I got.

Its funny reading that other positive review here, it sounds like Jack Black wrote it. This is not Power or Prog Metal, its just loud and terrible. That said, its pretty good if you want your parents to have a "where did we go wrong?" moment.

If you want good metal, skip this swill, and buy "Scenes From a Memory" by Dream Theater.

This has got to be the worst metal album ive heard in my life.I picked it up for $[amount of money] because of the price. This album is great if you want a good laugh. If you want real metal , go listen to Symphony X, Mystic Prophecy, Evergrey or Nevermore.
