"Battle at Helm's Deep" here too, such a great album. Personally I never had problems with the vocals but can understand the disapproval; they're nasal as fuck but that makes this album such an unique listening experience. The cartoon-cover fits the music perfectly.

Wish granted. The Second Coming slays!

True, whereas The Second Coming is way more common.

"Battle" is the one for me...just the opening notes of the intro to "The Hermit" are enough to make me happy...I guess it's probably a matter of which Attacker album I heard first...I got into "Battle" as soon as I heard it, but then "Second" came out and was not the follow-up record that I expected, so it took a little longer for me to enjoy that one in its own right...

I am not surprised that Battle... is getting lots of votes, but I never expected it would surpass The Second Coming! Though, if I understand Sgt. Kuntz' post correctly it would actually be tied now.

Attacker !!!

Awesome World Class Metal band. If I were to write a collectors book on heavy metal. I would have this band rated in the top tier of the world class bands of all time.

The Second Coming was the best album. I liked the increase in the POWER and INTENSITY factor, in comparison to the debut.

But with "Battle's At Helms Deep" I really played that album non-stop since it was release. Even to this day. I still play this album, non-stop, just like Mercyful Fate's "Melissa" and Satan's "Court in the Act"

Since the album "Battle At Helms Deep" has a different vocalist Bob Mitchell, and a different guitar team, the songwriting direction was really different from "The Second Coming". This album is really unique for its time of release. There was alot of creative songwriting and riffing, on "Battle At Helms Deep". I always will appreciate the wide range of dynamics and atmosphere, that is part of "Battle at Helms Deep's" appeal.

For some reason after throwing this on the turn table or cassette deck. I always reached for Dark Age's "Dark Age" on Gnarly Records/ Greenworld Distrobution. And of course Liege Lord's "Freedoms Rise".

I love their all albums but Second Coming never seems to get old.

I actually loved 'The Second Coming' when I was just discovering Attacker, but I believe the first one has a bit more of an 'adventurous feel' to it and when I listen to both records today 'Battle At Helm's Deep' is easily my favourite Attacker record - and it gets my vote.

As many of you probably have, I've also seen them at KIT X in 2008. Really great show and it was also to be Bob Mitchell's last with them. Haven't heard any news on the recent Attacker activities, but Bob has since reformed Sleepy Hollow and they'll be releasing a new album soon.

Good to hear the news re: Sleepy Hollow...their "A Legend Retold" album was fun - will have to pull that one out again...
