Pike chugging Heineken and hacking and spitting doesn't sound Letterman friendly.

This album is fucking awesome but I feel like it drops quality just a hair in the second half. Bastard Samurai is too fucking awesome to not mention in a review but whatever. It exudes this sinister sound reminiscent of the evil in ol' Sabbath. The bonus track Mystery of Helm is fucking awesome and should've been included on the original album.

FROST HAMMAH!

"The power trio format works well, despite past calls for a second guitarist (which I personally think would be overkill)"

Motorhead pun intended I assume :P nice review Zad, I'll be checking this one out for sure...haven't listened to much previous stuff but it definitely sounds like it would be up my alley (one of many). On the subject of stoner rock/metal, I had the great pleasure of seeing Clutch yesterday, among many others (Baroness, Isis, Anvil, Meshuggah, Anthrax, Faith No More), at the Soundwave festival here in sleepy ol' Perth...most excellent! Gotta love those stoners...Neil Fallon was in great form, and they played "The Mob Goes Wild" so I was happy :cool: although fuck it was hot! Anyway sure would like to see HoF make their way down under sometime...our time will come I'm sure.
