I think that Hammerheart is overrated too. If I had to choose one of the post-Blood Fire Death albums, Blood on Ice is better than Hammerheart in basically every facet.

 

[no country for old wainds]

agreed, but i'm not super into viking bathory in general. wish there was a full album of songs like the bookends of BLOOD FIRE DEATH.

Yeah, I'm not a big fan either. I just find the Hammerheart worship weird when Blood on Ice is just better. At the risk of agreeing with HBB, I'd have to say that Manowar is significantly better than Viking era Bathory.

I'd like to hear the album you describe.

 

[CiG]

Manowar at their peak are better than 99% of bands so that's not exactly controversial but Hammerheart, Twilight of the Gods and Blood on Ice are all much more consistent than any Manowar album released to date imo. Manowar released an album with "Mountains" on it, Bathory released Mountains: the album.

It's all a matter of what you want and I've never been huge on the more basic, stupid songs like "All Men Play On 10" etc.

There is nothing less than excellent on Hail to England.

 

[Dazed and Brutal]

I'd wager to say the Sign of The Hammer has the T H I C C E S T bass tone ever laid on wax

Agreed. 10/10 album, their only one.

 

[Dazed and Brutal]

I've never understood why Into Glory Ride doesn't get more love. "Secret of Steel" is easily in my top Heavy Metal tracks of all time.

 

[HamburgerBoy]

I think it gets plenty of love, especially among the in-crowd. And yeah Secret of Steel is an amazing song, pretty atypical of them in a way imo.

Warlord kinda spoils things a bit though.

The eternal Manowar problem is shit like that. They have a discography filled with flawed masterpieces.

Yah?
Hit me with a heavy metal record with a more bodacious bass tone

Life is Peachy obvs

Honestly though, DeMaio’s tone is kinda thin generally cause he uses piccolo basses.

MMM... Touche

I can see your point here. It slumps on my system anytime a mid-tempo track comes on tho

Far Beyond Driven is the best thing Pantera ever did

Cowboys From Hell tbh. One of the greatest metal albums ever

why you hatin on pantera lol

Too much groove metal for this board. They tend to like either black metal or shitty trad metal and nothing that is catchy

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

up there with devildriver?

 

[The Ozzman]

up there with devildriver?

None of their albums make a Top 20. Even I am not that delusional

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

Cemetery Gates kicks ass. The Sleep and Cowboys From Hell are cool. Message in Blood is okay. The rest of the album is pretty much throwaway. Far from being a top 20 anything

 

[The Ozzman]

It's better than anything Testament released past 1987 though
