5.0 out of 5 stars Hear ye battle cry!, July 4, 2005

By	G. Jobin - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Pretty good stuff you got there! Omen's first album is diversified, smooth but real good Heavy Metal. Sounds a bit like Iron Maiden (Piece of mind album) but Omen truly found it's own way and put itsef apart. Hard but harmonious riffs, good solos from Kenny Powell, the last song "In the arena" is the highlight of this album - overall a true classic!
Advice: Get yourself up to a good start, listen to the title track at first. Second advice: If you enjoy this first album, get yourself "Warning of danger" and "The curse" as well. You won't be dissapointed since they're both even better than the first.

5.0 out of 5 stars An All Time Classic, December 9, 2000

By	Metallah (Somewhere in the world) - See all my reviews

Omen was one of these bands which came up during the 80's with some great power metal albums. Especially this first one "Battle Cry" is great. There is not much to say about it, if you like power metal you should simply hear it and you will love it! Also the next albums were great but don't burn your fingers on "Escape To Nowhere" if you can get it, because it simply is terribly bad! Battle Cry is one more legendary classic album

5.0 out of 5 stars Finest Heavy Metal, July 8, 1999

By A Customer

Omen is one of those 80's Metal bands that came up with enough fury, good sound and excelent lyrics. If you're a serious Heavy Metal collector, this Album will be one of your favorites.
