Independent review

The 10th album of the legendary power-group from Sweden. I consider the 3 previous ones little-remarkable, but that didn't stop them from being in their native Top 2. I am sure that the new one will also be in the same high positions, for Cans's face adorns every tenth poster pillar in Stockholm. National heroes, no less. I will note that this time the high chart-position will be entirely justified. This is a full-fledged return to the roots. Renegade and Chapter V merged into one. Powerful, devised, excellently played and recorded. Production is on the level. Cans's voice has become somehow pure, and now I like it maximally. With all my love for the band's creativity, I used to dislike his voice earlier. The deficiency is corrected by 100%. About the tracks - everything is good. Bring it! - uninventive, but driving, Hammer high – an unconditional hit. By the way, the favorite word universe sounds regularly, primitive metal-texts are also in existence. This is a feature and this is a fact. That's how it should be. The sacred vow - a typical battle hymn, Built to last – another hit, The star of home races at full speed, New breed – a metal-anthem, Second to none - a power-standard. This is a real ode to strength. Do you want to cheer up and get a maximum charge of energy? You have come to the right place.
