This has to be my vote for the most infectious,most catchy beer swilling party rock album so far released this year.This band continues to get tighter and more consistent in their way of recording some of the most toe tapping/headbanging Metal rock ever produced.Their previous work has been great but this is the benchmark album for them,a total complete masterpiece of irresistible of 70's Stoner Hard rock.Think of the most classic Thin Lizzy songs or even Iron Maiden and this is the vibe the band dishes out from start to finish.This album at first listens reeks of a tribute album to the greats of the mid 70's to early 80's but after more spins they make their own mark in your brain.You can't help but step back in time when you hear this CD,it makes you want to break out your old Angel Witch records.This is pure old school classic Heavy Metal but they are so good they automatically can sit heads and shoulders along with those Metal classics of yesteryear..Hoffman's vocals shine throughout the entire album and they have a kind of Bruce Dickenson type of quality full of meaty goodness and laced with passion.Tracks like "The Turning Stone " are full of massive riffs and grooves. Darren Amaya on bass and Spalding on drums supply the perfect Metal backbeat to propel the songs and everything stinks of old school energy.Time to bring out the old denim jacket while listening to this fucker ! "Night Oath" features one of the more crunchy riffs on the album and will stick in your head even just after one listen.This may not be everyone's pint of beer,especially if you are hooked in the heavier Doom/Black Metal stuff but if you love the old school sounds or are from that era you will love this.One negative comment has to be made though,at times the Thin Lizzyism's get a bit too close to the real thing.Take the song "Ol Girl" for example,you might find yourself checking the CD to see if you didn't throw in "Johnny The Fox" by mistake.That minor criticism won't affect you however in enjoying the crackling energy and the fists in the air old school glory that "Freedom Metal" offers.One of the all time great party albums!! 9/10
