Artiste: Ironheart
Genre: Heavy Metal
Familiarity: Zero
IronHeart - Revolution Calls - Encyclopaedia Metallum: The Metal Archives

Track 1(Love) Hey, these guys are Irish! Well, Northern Irish, but I'll take what I can get. Good hard-rockin' start with some cool guitar, powers along nicely.
Track 2(Love) Another great rocker. Nothing special to be fair, but very enjoyable and very Metal.
Track 3(Love) Another great, if unremarkable song
Track 4(Love) Has a lot of Metallica in it; slightly slower and more grindy
Track 5(Love) Back to fast headbanging; nothing wrong so far. Really like this one actually.
Track 6(Love) Yeah, this one's great too. Super album at this point.
Track 7(Love) Nice slow intro on synth, could this be a ballad? Well, with a title like “Gods of war” I kind of doubt it. No, it's not of course. Still great though.
Track 8(Love) Another excellent song, on which I hear echoes of Dio in the singing
Track 9(Love) Guess there'll be no ballad then!
Track 10(Love) Nope! Another hard and heavy rocker to close.

End result: While there's nothing that stands out about this album, I'm hesitant to label it generic. There's definitely passion and power in the music, and some interesting ideas. Whether IronHeart have what it takes to make the next step to international stardom or not (this being their debut album) is something I guess only time will tell us.

So, Love or Hate? For now, I really enjoyed this so it's a sure Love.

Chances of a full review: 5/10
