There are far more old-school 80's metal elements to this than there are on any Gamma Ray or Freedom Call record I could care to mention, and indeed most of Hammerfall's later efforts are stylistically closer to stuff like 'British Steel' than anything in the modern era.

On 'Unbent, Unbowed, Unbroken' the lads from Sweden display a seemingly natural affinity for rousing, glorious melodies and catchy performance, and as long as they keep on doing the same thing I'll keep on lapping it up. Hammerfall aren't going to be reinventing the wheel any time soon, but they are still a band with a sound of their own and the potential to provide a good dose of thoroughly old-school pleasure.

Hammerfall's fifth. I was not looking forward to another release by them, but honestly, it surprised me, if only a little. Just when I thought Hammerfall would pump out another formulaic, uninspired serving of generic power metal, they go ahead and show some innovation.

The very first track. It may just be the best Hammerfall song ever written, with "Stone Cold" the only other song qualified to compete for that honor. The riffing is powerful and captivating.

The vocals are incredibly well executed. The lyrics are sweet and the lead work is sweeter. Plus the drums sound heavy as hell. The best part? It has an incredibly rare energy to it, that most of Hammerfall's songs are noticibly devoid of. The song sounds like thought was put into it, and that has a lot of standing here. Awesome way to start the album. And then Hammerfall reminds the listener that they are indeed listening to a Hammerfall album.

Track two is "Blood Bound" and from that point on, it's clear that the band hasn't given up their old tricks. There aren't any annoying ass songs like "Hearts on Fire," but most of the songs on the album have the same feel, which really sucks. Rather than spread out their newfound "innovation" and make every song on the album generally good, they decide to pack it all into the first song.

Makes for a hell of an opener, but I'd rather have a solid album than a crappy one with a killer first track. The only song that doesn't have the same feel is the shorter acoustic instrumental "Imperial. The final song is the epic "Knights of the 21st. Century," better known as "The Prophecy", since it seems like that's pretty much the only fucking line in the song sometimes. Guest vocals by Cronos are a nice counterpoint to Hammerfall's typically clean, melodic vocals, but the song is just too drawn out.

It would have been awesome as a minute song, but it's too slow to capture interest for the whole ten minutes. So what we have here is a rare example of Hammerfall 'trying. If you like Hammerfall, you'll buy into this one just like all their others.

If you don't, this won't change your opinion. Although "Secrets" is awesome, I wouldn't purchase the album on its merit alone. Conclusion: Better than Crimson Thunder. Basically on par with most of the band's other releases. Over the course of the career of this prominent power metal ensemble, the band has shown an affinity for crafting some of the most majestic sounding metal around.

But Hammerfall at times seem as if they are holding back a little bit from their true potential in order to make for a smoother production. But occasionally, Hammerfall sound a bit dated. Their riffing, however listenable is reminiscent of eighties bands and for whatever reason, they stick to this format throughout the record, never branching out or expanding the boundaries of the art form. The production on this record is slick and tight, aiming for a compact, classic metal feel and succeeding in the attempt.

The album is full of great solos, without too much overplaying, and these skilled leads do much to emphasize the tracks overall forcefulness. If you are looking for familiar metal sounds executed in a capable manner, you might find this to be an enjoyable listen. In the end, Hammerfall are a group that has found its niche and are sticking to it, which is more than admirable, but you will find the group breaking no new ground with this release.

After HammerFall had made two very successful albums I was a little bit worried that they would maybe turn into somewhat too radio-friendly music. This may mainly be because the songs on this album seem so tiresome and boring in a way, especially the melodies is not as good as before. Especially the drums has a huge lift up. A weaker thing with HammerFall though is the simple drumming. They have one of the best metal and not just only metal drummers but do they use his talent?

No way! Anyway, the artwork is also pretty cool with Hector standing on a hill frozen in ice, cool. But it looks a little bit too much computerized in my opinion. To the songs than, shall we? Then the band begins to play. A typical HF songs. Nice guitar riffs, cool bridge and a pretty catchy chorus and the solo is also nice. The mid-paced songs with a really catchy chorus. And I just love the part at So goddamn awesome.

And a nice solo on this one too. This song does also have one of the albums best solos. Not really a favourite from the album. But it has a cool solo. The chorus sets itself on your mind pretty fast. A middle track.
