"Let’s try to describe this sharp plastic disc, which is as cutting as a razor blade. If we had to compare Valient Thorr, we’d be in a bit of a bind. It’s a rough mix of Motörhead, Black Label Society (for the love of sleeveless denim jackets, the attitude, and the outrageous solos that linger in every track), and even the Ramones (for the communal spirit and punk attitude). Each song follows a similar musical vein, driving the rusty nail deeper into the gaping wound of your auditory pleasure: heavy guitars, shouted vocals, and drums that blend the joy of straightforward rhythms with hard rock flair. These are anthems to the watered-down hops that you’ll find yourself singing along to from the very first listen. The result is a timeless musical genre that combines the best of the past four decades with an impeccably modern sound."
