Maybe it was too much too soon for Manowar when they released yet another studio album in 1984? SIGN OF THE HAMMER consists of the same Manowar formula of boastful Viking metal powered by Joey DeMaio's relentless bass virtuosity and Eric Adam's screams of power. "All Men Play On 10" is a worthy enough addition to their canon, but the rest of the album seems a bit thin on substance. "Mountains" is a promising, but slightly flawed epic, while "Guyana (Cult Of The Damned)" is pretty overbaked. Manowar fans might defend this one and damn me to Hades for suggesting this is anything less than classic Manowar. For me, it's a little short on inspiration.

Iconic Manowar effort. The best song here is definitely "Guyana (Cult of the Damned)".
