On this album Manowar continued their Heavy Metal-crusade as usual. It's supermajestic with big choirs, narrated themes between the songs and of course, some good ol' metal. Some good songs and some not so good. Business as usual one can say when it comes to this band. Sadly drummer Scott Columbus died in 2011 meaning this was the last album he contributed on. It is not known what the cause of death was.

1)Overture to the hymn of the immortal warriors. (7,0) Super-majestic orchestra and choir-intro that goes on for 6 minutes!

2)The ascension (-) Intro nr. 2.

3)King of kings (8,0) A good PURE heavy metal-song with double bassdrum tempo.

4)Army of the dead, part I (-) Choir-stuff.

5)Sleipnir (7,0)

6)Loki god of fire (7,5) Heavy!

7)Blood brothers (5,0) Majestic ballad but too cheesy.

8)Overture to Odin (6,0) Another majestic orchestral piece.

9)The blood of Odin (-) Narrated.

10)Sons of Odin (7,5)

11)Glory majesty unity (-) Narrated.

12)Gods of war (7,0) Majestic marching song.

13)Army of the dead, part II (-) Choir.

14)Odin (5,5) Slow and boring.

15)Hymn of the immortal warriors (6,5)
