OK...I finally listened to Hammer Of God.
Not terrible. The production was decent. His newer vocal styles annoy me a little, but I see a bit of consensus in the mainstream metal press about that. His lyrics still obviously leave me cold. But musically...HOG is definitely not a bad album. I also listened to Triumph Of Mercy. Bleh. But I understand he was "recovering" during that album, so I won't be mean.
I haven't explored the rest of the later catalog. I took one look at the cover/title for The Evil Addiction Destroying Machine and almost peed myself. What were they thinking? Wow, the heathens are going to rush right out to buy that one! *sigh*
