| How many bands have released a masterpiece before they split-up? Not so many, but surely Thor's Hammer is one of them. "Three Weeds From The Same Root" is kind of a concept album, dealing about hatred to some of the world most powerful things, Religions and the United States. Something special about this band is that they have an unique sound, this not typical old-school black metal, but it's not modern BM either, it just Thor's Hammer. The songs here are mid-paced, very atmospheric and dark, it's really and experience to listen to this awesome album, the lyrics are not the boring (and sometimes stupid) white power stuff, as I said before, they mainly deal with religion (and how it affects your life), and also with personal pride and the real world that the media won't show you. A track that really shine here is "The Law of the Wave", one of the best Thor's Hammer songs ever, but this album doesn't have a bad moment, this is pure gold. Buy or Die! LET THE HAMMER SMASH THE CROSS! Rating: 10/10 |
