Gloryhammer is that all-too-rare band that embodies everything tiresome, juvenile, cliché, and hopelessly stupid about a genre and somehow manages to make it sound fresh and exciting - or at least extremely fun. Such an earnest overstuffing of cheese makes it hard to read them sometimes, as Tales From The Kingdom Of Fife demonstrated. Yet for Gloryhammer, this mission of dragons, wizards, undead unicorns? space goblins? hoots? what's a Questlord of Inverness? Well, anyway, it's a celebration of power metal, even a vaguely-messianic fulfillment, rather than a condemnation of its bloated excess. Read more ›› |

This completely deserves its premature 9.3 rating.

Written by [user id=4365] on 25.09.2015 at 17:34 Ha! Good one on both fronts. :-D I'm only a few minutes into this record but it already gets a thumbs up based on the opening narration alone. I can get behind a band who earnestly understands how ridiculous they are. If Weird Al were well-executed power metal he would be these dudes.

Oops I of course meant the vocals and music are as cheesy as the lyrics.

This album is just a ton of fun. Very well-performed power metal with a splash of tongue-in-cheek antics.

Anyone know what the 11th track is called? Edit: Nevermind, I found it on Wikipedia.
---- "I'm here to nunchuck and not wear helmets. And I'm all out of helmets." "I'll fight you on one condition. That you lower your nipples." " 'Tis a lie! Thy backside is whole and ungobbled, thou ungrateful whelp!"

Is the Hollywood Hootsman supposed to be the barbarian from the other album? And is this reminding anyone else of Bal-Sagoth?

Not bad, but I've heard those chord progressions, riffs, melodies and choruses a hundred times before.

So apparently the artwork had some tracing done:  For reference, that is Gul'Dan from Warcraft. While /r/wow is going hardcore witch hunt mode, I find it to be a real cool nod considering that HammerFall's art is made by Sam Didier, Blizzard's art director. Power metal has generic high fantasy themes, Warcraft is generic high fantasy (although they were the first to canonically humanize orcs), and Warcraft has its fair share of "inspirations" as well.

Still a very good album, although I prefer the debut but this one has grown on me specially after listening to the band live and now I believe it's close to the debut.
