I bought this album for an undeniably cheap price, and I had no idea how it would sound like. The band was named Stormrider and they were labelled as death/black, but it was more than that once I started to listen. First Battle Won is one of the most powerful metal albums I have heard. Everything was heavy as hell, melodic and unusually diverse. I would say that this album sounds like brutal melodic death/black. The song material shifts between melodic death metal and regular crushing death metal. You have both dark growls and black-ish rasps. Tremolo pickings are mixed with crushing power chords and the drumming bashes out many types of catchy and intense drum patterns. This is a metal album that would suit most metal heads out there, highly recommended album and band.
