Battle Hymns in the original version was true for me as one of the best albums in the history of Heavy Metal Donnie Hamzik on drums Ross the Boss on guitar Joey de Maio on bass and superior Eric Adams Vocals played on their debut album really masterly. Especially Dark Avenger is with "narrator" Orson Wells and (should) give it a second time. Unfortunately they sold with the new recording in 2011 My recommendation is the first recording and not this Bombastklamauk Some can not be repeated Mr.De Maio.
