Weapons of Tomorrow came out long after Warbringer’s moment had seemingly passed, but the thing about their brand of retro thrash was that while it might ebb and flow in popularity or esteem, there is always some place for it. So even though “Power Unsurpassed” offered absolutely nothing new, the simple fact that it kicked so much ass with such efficiency was more than enough to make it a winner. Everything was perfectly placed, especially the chugging mosh breakdown, and John Kevill’s immaculately enunciated barking was the chef’s kiss that made this a basically flawless headbanger. Beyond being a stellar thrash metal number, “Power Unsurpassed” completely lived up to its title and was more or less everything anyone could want from a killer heavy metal tune.

No podemos pasarnos la vida escondiéndonos, imaginando lo que podríamos lograr si tuviéramos una oportunidad. Tenemos que crear nosotras mismas esa oportunidad.
I can't say I expected this particular character to decide he was going to encourage World War 3 to start and try to control how it'd develop because what humanity really needs is an age of heroes to get rid of its weakness, but I'm not exactly surprised.
Albums of the Week! Necropanther takes the top spot with their excellent new release, Betrayal. Close behind it is Ettinskjalf’s new black metal masterpiece. I dusted off old chestnuts from Skeletonwitch and Warbringer, and recent offerings from SpectralWound, Ashes, and Wormwitch. I had to wear my battlejacket for protection while playing the aggressive new Minenwerfer war soundtrack (way more brutal than Alpenpasse).
