MEDIA FEEDBACK for "Legacy Of The Sword":
86 / 100
➤ "The songwriting is tight and to the point ... stringent songs that are perfect for shouting along and having fun without being too simple ... every fan of traditional Metal should definitely give this album a listen …
(Metal Archives)
8,5 / 10
➤ "Traditional Metal is casually combined with Thrash and Speed Metal, while the guitars play rousing melodies that should enchant the epics among you ... the sound is more than appealing, and it's really surprising that this is an in-house production from the home rehearsal room ..."
(Powermetal DE)
8,5 / 10
➤ "The powerful concept of Heavy and Power Metal is realized to the last breath ... the riffs fly, bass and drums put the pressure on ... hints of Saxon and Accept ... reminiscences of Judas Priest ..."
(Soundmagnet)
4 / 5
➤ "… a pummeling stripe of Trad Metal not far removed from acts like Battlerage, Skullview, or Majesty. The guitars are heavy and crunch out good riffs, and some of the leads are very tasty … a highly enjoyable slab … hammers and crunches along and will definitely keep your head banging …"
(The Metal Crypt)
8 / 10
➤ "Everything sounds headbanger-ready and kicks ass ... the production is clean, transparent and powerful ... this half hour is totally fun! If you like Power Metal a bit harder and less cheesy, you should definitely get this one!"
(Crossfire)
7,5 / 5
➤ "Everything sounds beautifully raw ... unerringly on the road in the specified genre. The great mixture of classic Heavy Metal with a bit of epic comes out of the speakers well and so you can only congratulate the band on their second album, strong performance!"
(Rock Garage)
3,5 / 5
➤ "... robust Heavy Metal, obviously inspired by the NWOBHM and especially by the lesson taught by Iron Maiden ... play only the music they love, and they do it well … full of energy and heaviness, and in the end downright convincing and even rousing ..."
(All Around Metal)
➤ "... classic Heavy Metal that's stuck in the eighties up to the shoulder blade - from Manowar to Saxon to Teutonic stainless steel with greetings from the blade city of Solingen ..."
(Deaf Forever)
➤ "… straight to the point … made to be played live with maximum performance and sung along to at the climax by the audience with horns in the air and a beer in the other hand … well-produced - it's an in-house production, by the way … well played … doesn't lose itself in frills and unnecessary lengthiness … recommended for fans of classical Metal sounds …"
(The Murder Inn)
➤ "... very good ... I never felt the need to skip ... I listened to 'Legacy Of The Sword' over and over again and the initial good first impression was confirmed ... you want classic Heavy Metal with the right fresh touch? TOMB OF GIANTS has exactly that for you."
(Oszillator)
➤ "… from head to toe 'Legacy Of The Sword' delivers all kinds of emotions and that’s the best part of it … the catchy and highly addictive chorus of 'Ad Victoriam' is really something to be proud of … passionate … enthusiastic … lively … a remarkable album in all senses …"
(Metal Addicts)
➤ "Already the opener 'Legacy Of The Sword' is a real banger ... the vocals are speedy and anthemic at the same time ... with 'Soulstealer' you don't have to think long who was the godfather here. Judas Priest with 'Painkiller' send their regards ..."
(Heavy Stage Force)
➤ "... a work that defends the classic style of Heavy Metal and offers a strong dose of adrenaline and power that keeps the old-school flame burning ... the best version of eighties Heavy Metal ... a musical gem ..."
(Barraca 26)
➤ "… a record full of variety ... powerful ... anthemic flair ... immediately entices you to sing along …"

TOMB OF GIANTS:
"With 'Soulstealer' we represent the terrifying and relentless force of evil. 'Soulstealer' is a being from hell that brings chaos and destruction to mankind. His appearance and actions are accompanied by images of the apocalypse - darkness, rain of blood and destruction. The song is meant to show the consequences of giving in to evil."
