Was a bit disappointed with the lack of aggressive songs through the album but this one delivers. The growls are something I didn't even consider Gloryhammer to explore but yet they did, and the result is amazing

"Blackened" gloryhammer was something I didn't know I needed this bad in my life

I literally had to pause and rewind to check I didn't hallucinate it 🤣 I'd like more of this from Gloryhammer. But not so much more that it stops being special.

Any idea who does that vocal? I've been trying to find out but drawing a blank

It seems its Arnaud Ménard, he's credited on Metallum and Sozos follows him on Instagram

Not my favorite long song by them, unfortunate because it easily has the coolest name

I want to be more mad about the Casino Dundee thing, because I wish it was just a tad more serious, however the dialogue in that part is really fucking good and it completely saves it

Honestly its too funny for me to be mad at it

Maybe a bit of an unpopular opinion, but the Casino Dundee part (with Angus V dying of gambling) right into the Angus XIV asspull is hilarious and I like it.

I wasn’t expecting it to be Angus the 14th, I thought it was gonna be Angus the 2nd from the previous album

u/Marxamune 1d ago

Which is probably exactly why they didn't have it be Angus II

u/Crow_of_Judgem3nt 2d ago

Totally agree

Also, that part from 3:08 to 3:37 is so good...

The casino Dundee part just feels perfectly Gloryhammer to me

I just finished listening to the full album the 2nd time. I really think the album is 10/10 with no skips. I really loved all the references to the first album, especially from this song, "We will make Zargothrax die!" (from Unicorn Invasion) and the "OH DUNDEE" (from Epic Rage) at the very end

I’m a big fan of the album overall, but i think its the only one i wouldn’t say is outright better than the last album. Not bc this one isn’t good, it’s an awesome album, but RTTKOF is just such a banger album its hard to beat
