What a fantastic album! The brilliant offspring of Raven Bitch and Primordial! At least in my aural perception!
Unfortunately, cd never arrived! tasos21
I had to get used to the very strong greek accent of the vocalist. But everything else - riffs, melodies, lyrics, the overall sound- is pure gold to the Manowar-Worshipper. In fact, you have to go back lots of years to find equally fine material from the fallen kings of metal LexMetalUndergroundAustria
Fav: Burceau. Trad metal is like Sabbathian stoner; everyone loves it so much that there are a billion bands devoted to it, and that means a lot of samey. You really need some spice to stand out. Herzel have that spicy secret sauce. Everyone can do a galloping line, but is it adventurous? Unexpected melodic turns like turning a cobbled street corner to see a mighty vista? Soaring lines that stir your blood? Extra points for whatever that horn/brass instrument was, it fit right in. Hail Herzel! pinkytheent
