Yes I really love this colossal album, which is full of bitter grief of violently forced christianity in his home country in the past, I love the sound that`s unlike any other, I love songwriting, instruments, anything. Quorthon was great as black metal vocalist, his melodical singing has just that touch of imperfection that is needed to make it special. And I don`t know if there is anybody else who stood at a birth of two metal styles, as he did.

After testing waters on 'Blood Fire Death' Bathory fully embraced their epic viking metal style and thank God(s) they did. The incredible medival atmosphere of this album is strenghtened by folk elements, slow monstrous riffs, choirs which sound like army of vikings getting ready for battle. Quorthron diversified already incredible compositions with occasional solos and shifting between clean and more harsh vocals yet they still have that hypnotic feel to them.

Triumphant; unbowed. Unlike the far more fawned-over "Blood Fire Death", Hammerheart
isn't congested with an amorphous (albeit purely distilled and seminal) unmemorable
midsection (that record was an opening and closing track). Hammerheart is (save for the
forgivably mild dip in quality of "Baptized In Fire And Ice") a cover-to-cover
goosebump-inducing, endearingly amateurish work of heartfelt warmth and inimitable
cultural tribute; track after track embedding -- as though some platonic form -- deeply
in one's psyche, capturing archetypes and paying homage to forefathers.
Quorthon's most soulful achievement. R.I.P - 4.9/5

Another massive album by Bathory, the original viking metal band.

quorthon gets experimental and creates yet another new genre in viking metal allowing the rising trv kvlt to have their fill of his creation. not everything is fleshed out but baptize in fire and ice and especially one rode to asa bay are immortal masterpieces

Yeah, this really didn't do anything for me. The followup is far superior in my eyes.

The album starts off with 3 utterly epic songs. Then my favourite, Father like Son thanks to it?s crushing riff. Following this comes Home of Once Brave which didn?t sit so well with me after an interlude, and almost killed the album for me. I also though One Rode could be slightly shorter. Overall, if I were to describe this album using one word, easy: EPIC!

75/100. While i can appreciate the direction and creativity Bathory approached this album with, I don't think the viking metal aesthetic appeals to me nearly as much as their earlier, grittier material. That's not to say I didn't enjoy the record--- from the epic song structures to the ambient field recordings, Hammerheart is cinematic and triumphant with its presentation. I suspect this one will grow on me in time.

Old-School BM at one of its finest points. Screeching guitars and pummeling drums provide for an intensely heavy experience. A great album for both beginners to the genre and experienced BM Veterans. 4.1/5
