That’s not quite true tonight, obviously, in the context of what had gone on before – BIM look like they’d arm wrestle Satan if he was game – but they are unique. Everyone else is too puny and weak, frankly.” Other bands would – if they could – sound like them, but it’s futile. I wrote these words: “Gloryhammer are unique. The type of band you’d see in a tent at Bloodstock at 3pm on the Saturday and be the band of the weekend, Brothers Of Metal prove Odin has the best tunes.īack in December, Gloryhammer played a support slot to Alestom. “The Death of the God of Light” doesn’t so much usher them in as lead a blitzkrieg and “Ride of the Valkyries” would see being called OTT as a compliment, “Yggdrasil” (“the best song in your world” reckons Nillson) is rather good and “Mead Song” is utterly aware its not sensible, but here’s the thing: by the time they’ve had the audience kneeling and split them into three for “Fire Blood and Steel” then there’s no one who hasn’t bought into this totally. They are incredible, they are a force of nature and they’ve got songs to match. Brothers Of Metal do power metal the way everyone should: So ludicrously you couldn’t explain it to anyone with a straight face. There’s about 47 of them (I think there’s eight, but they lend themselves to hyperbole) and one of them, Mats Nillson, is wearing a kilt (he’s conquered Scotland, don’t ask) and along with lva Eriksson and Joakim Lindbäck Eriksson he’s one of three singers in the band. On their Facebook page in the bio it says of Brothers Of Metal “some say they are the greatest metal band ever.” Watch them here for 40 minutes and it’s hard to disagree. Like a tidal wave of metal, you aren’t outrunning Arion, so your only option is to saddle up and enjoy the ride. “At The Break Of Dawn” sees Lassi get more personal with his friends at the front, but there’s something inescapable. Iivo Kaipainen’s riffs, keyboard man Arttu Vauhkonen adding the symphonic touches and the rhythm section absolutely thundering, it’s pretty much impossible not to be swept along. “Punish You” thinks the new wave of British Heavy Metal is still new, and if “Unforgivable” and “Bloodline” are slabs of power metal, then my goodness they are done well. Moreover, he’s the type of frontman that isn’t going to stop until he’s won you over and this type of battle metal, if you will, has a canon of songs emerge victorious in any war. The five piece have come from Finland with power metal in their hearts and fists held high, and in singer Lassi Vääränen they’ve got a man with the mane of hair to match his stunning vocals. Take the words “Black” and “Horse” out of that and you can see why this Arion named themselves in such a way. House of Hammer begins streaming today, September 2.My Greek mythology is sketchy, but according to Wikipedia Arion is a divinely bred, fabulously fast, black-maned horse. Is juicy the word we want here? Or is it tender? What does human flesh taste like?! Let us know in the comments below! House of Hammer does sound a little bit like tabloid fodder–especially with a Hollywood player in the spotlight–but the details do sound juicy enough to pull in viewers to Discovery+’s miniseries. Featuring exclusive revelations from Armie’s aunt, Casey Hammer, and multiple survivors of Armie’s alleged abuse, the docuseries brings to light the dark secrets – ranging from accusations of violence and abuse to political manipulation and financial fraud – hidden within one of America’s most prominent families.” House of Hammer’s official plot synopsis: “This docuseries begins in 2020 at the peak of Hammer’s rise to fame. Please note that all of this information comes from the documentary and not anyone here at, as most of us have never met the Hammer family…thank god. So, think about that next time you’re worried about your seat at the Thanksgiving dinner table. Oh, and it seems Armie’s grandfather, Julian, was a bit of a sicko, too, as he was a drunk who once offered his son a million dollars for his girlfriend. Armie has allegations of abuse, rape and cannibalism against him, while Armand is depicted as abusive, manipulative and a liar, to say the least. Now that it is available, details are coming out from House of Hammer, Discovery+’s three-episode miniseries detailing not only Armie Hammer’s troubles, but his great-grandfather, oil magnate Armand Hammer. OK, we had to open with some lightheartedness because things are about to get pretty dark. Or maybe the house MC Hammer had to sell after filing for bankruptcy. Perhaps the legendary British horror production company Hammer. On the surface, House of Hammer could be about any number of subjects.
