Battle at Helms Deep

by Attacker

Heavily inspired by the high fantasy literature of J.R.R. Tolkien, this debut release is a quintessential document of the burgeoning American power metal underground. 'Battle at Helms Deep' pairs galloping, aggressive twin-guitar riffs with Bob Mitchell's piercing, highly operatic vocal shrieks. Released via the seminal Metal Blade Records, the album helped define the epic, muscular speed metal sound that countered the rising commercial glam scene.
