A Challenge of Honour
Monuments


Not the best example of this band's output. Which is sort of strange, because better releases from ACOH came both before and after this one. Here's the biggest problem: Why does Peter Savelkoul feel he needs to add his vocals? They're worse than those of early Tony Wakeford, and that's saying something. Just shut your mouth and let the music play.

Plus, the movie samples are cheesy and ham-handedly inserted into the mix. But hey, it's a CDR release, so what do you expect? I'd heard they were going to rerelease it last year as a CD, but that must have never panned out. (Maybe they listened to it again and came to their senses?)

Wow, I sound grumpy. Sorry.
