This album is legit. I thought it was perfect. Heavy, fast, dark. Sometimes an album doesn’t need to be anything but itself.

Finally bought the album. Finally get use to the signer style. It's a Solid album, particularly From Hell I Rise. The beginning/end Kerry King riff in From Hell I Rise is awesome & one of the main reason i bought this record.

Listened to the album this morning. Agree with your assessment completely. I got bored fairly quickly and there were little surprises on this album. It’s not bad but just has a “heard it before” feeling.

When I first heard Trophies of The Tyrant the first thing that came to my mind was Pursuit of Vikings too hahahaha. But I 100% agree that this album is too long and the design could be better. It felt like to me that this album is a compilation of songs, not an album per se. But the songs individually are great.

I disagree that the album was too long, and I'm glad that King threw everything at his debut album. There is a clear vision, it's calling out the hypocrisy of politics, religion and society. Have you read the lyrics?

This is a good album. Not sure what people are expecting since thrash metal has been around since the 80s. Metal has been done in every single way. It was a great effort.

I do wish the lyrics were more the style of early Slayer. The lyrics are literally talking abt social media and politicians and such. I miss the surgery without anesthesia and the demons man! The sound is awesome though. The tracks really kick ass. It would’ve been cool to get more bass guitar but it’s still great. I love Kerry’s signature chug rhythms. Man that makes you want to headband

Two types of people will like this: 1) kids who are just getting into metal and have a very limited frame of reference, 2) adults who aren’t picky at all and like literally anything that’s fast and heavy. I listened to the whole album this afternoon and it’s as generic as it gets. It doesn’t “suck,” but it’s mediocre, one-dimensional, and forgettable. There is nothing interesting going on at all. The only praise I really have is that I was expecting to hate the production but didn’t. It’s a well-mixed, not obnoxiously “modern” sounding album, which is rare these days.

On first listen during I wasn’t quite as blown away as I thought.. I was hoping for lyrics that were a little less edglordy. for instance, I thought the title track would be about overcoming challenges or something.. all the “I hate religion” stuff that was provocative during the satanic panic is much less of an interesting take these days. still, I am very much a KK fan so there may be some bias when I say I really enjoyed it.. I listened particularly to see if he’d explore and really express himself as a guitarist but like everyone else said: Slayer 2.0

It’s funny bc the religious critique angle can still be viable. But the best criticisms probably come from religious ppl themselves nowadays.

I'm a big Slayer fan, but everyone knows their biggest hits were written by Jeff. In my opinion, he was a flat-out better guitar player. I ain't going to lie and say won't listen to King record. My expectations are low. The two singles are good.

This album should've been more interesting and relevant if he didn't try to sound like Slayer light. Some progressive stuff, ballads, rock, jazz maybe and it could've been a great one. Now it's a little boring and i lose interest quickly. Not an aoty-contender i guess..
