For older fans Threshold will put a massive smile accross your face. This disc has all of the essential Hammerfall classics. It’s a brave and brilliant refocusing of Hammerfall energies, virtually a rebirth. Another great offering from Hammerfall.
Threshold couldn’t start better than with the up up-beat title track Fire Burns Forever. Vocal harmonies in this track are great and song structure is just right. Some of the arrangements found on Threshold are surprisingly edgy. I came to like Dark Wings, Dark Words. In Howlin’ With The ‘Pac the music gets its power. Still going through Threshold and coming to appreciate Shadow Empire more and more with every listen. What sets Carved In Stone apart is Hammerfall’s innovative and organic way of creating atmospheres. You have to get essence of the Reign Of The Hammer’s power, to truly understand this masterpiece. Music and lyrics of Genocide creates, for me, fertile ground for daydreaming. Hammerfall is hitting on all cylinders in Titan. Natural High (Video Version) is a strong cut, one of many. Fire Burns Forever (Sp; Bonus Track) to me is the best you can get from Hammerfall.
