Review title: CornerStone of Viking/Metal
Product review: Viking/metal/folk bands of today--Thyrfing, Moonsorrow, Falkenbach and Manegarm to name a few, have Quorthon to thank. "Hammerheart" is a cornerstone record of this genre. Without it, well, I wonder. The vocals are not very good,IMO, but they exude a passion and emotion that few can match. The guitar riffs, especially on "Baptised in Fireand Ice" and "Father to Son"are like a viking hammer to the skull. The drummng can "crack the sky." Production is typical for this genre of music, raw and scratchy. But, I guarantee complete Viking atmosphere with this music. Simply, if you enjoy this genre of music, this record along with "Twilight of the Gods" are essential and necessary. Quorthon (RIP)
