Battle Helm Rating
For some reason unknown to me I had expectations on this one. Not because I am familiar with the musicians on this album, or that I have heard snippets of it before. There was just a gut feeling telling me that this was gong to cool. And cool it is. I don’t really know how to describe it other than it is a bulldozing musical monster. I guess now would be a good time to the use the post rock/metal tag if ever. Because that is what I feel when I listen to this. This is what post is to me. Something taken one step further. If you like repetitive, slightly psychedelic post metal this is for you. I might not be the hippest post metal dude but this I do like. There is a feel and vibe to this that makes me think old scary movies. And since I love old scary movies I like this too. Anders Ekdahl
