Album Notes & Community Reviews

Reinvigorated by significant lineup changes, the British extreme metal veterans deliver a widely celebrated return to the grandiose, complex ferocity of their 1990s peak. 'Hammer of the Witches' is conceptually centered around medieval witch trials, executing the narrative with majestic orchestral arrangements, furious blast beats, and Dani Filth's signature shrieking. The record is a highly poetic, energetic triumph within symphonic black metal.
