Satan's Host - By the Hands of the Devil

[Fire breath]

Sounds like death metal with wailing power metal vox from the Tyrant. Pretty cool especially the break riff at 2.50.

 

[Matt Crooks]

This is way better than what I saw from them live last year...

 

[Claus / Intromental]

Holy ****!

I always ignored this band. Never seemed to interest me. But this is some killer stuff.

That song completely ruled.

 

[Purveyor Of Evil]

Absofuckinglutely incredible! That chorus is especially amazing! When the hell is this album getting released?

 

[AeonicSlumber]

Yeah I ignored this band too. This is cool stuff.

 

[Artizan]

we practiced right next to these guys in the late 80's/early 90's. Patrick Evil is a trip...good guy. Harry rules.

Wow.... Awesome stuff. Totally new to me.

Must. Buy. Now......

 

[nomisofsiman]

This sounds like something I really, really should like but for some reason it leaves me cold. Oh well.

 

[GameFreac]

Never really liked their black/death stuff but this rules.

 

[Element_man]

I love this album! All the best heavy metal bands are the satanic ones these days!

I am listening to it now, and it kicks the ass of the new Jag Panzer(*) for me. Apparently, Harry Conklin was in Satan's Host back in the day and released Metal from Hell with them in 1986. (Yes, I am checking that one out next.) Harry then left for Titan Force, and Satan's Host became a black/death metal band.

Fast forward to 2011, and Harry is back singing with Satan's Host. The vocals are Harry at his best - clean, melodic, and soaring. The music has some black and death metal elements, but it has just as many traditional/power metal moments. The disc at times reminds me of the awesome Mike Wead offering, Bibleblack - The Black Swan Epilogue (2009).

Highly recommended.

* = Note that though I love Casting the Stones, I have not been able to get into any other Jag Panzer album, so I am hardly a Panzer fanboy. I like Titan Force though. ;-)
