PopMatters[9]

The Sword's debut album received a widely positive critical reaction. Reviewing for music website allmusic, critic Eduardo Rivadavia awarded Age of Winters 4.5 out of 5 rating stars, qualifying it as an 'AMG Album Pick'.[10] In the review, Rivadavia claims that the band's debut record 'sees them joining California's High on Fire, Sweden's Witchcraft, and Australia's Wolfmother (to name but a few) at the forefront of what's gradually become known in the mid-'00s as the 'heritage' or 'retro-metal' movement.'[10] He goes on to suggest that 'the album's main attraction [is] its megalithic guitar work,' concluding that 'Age of Winters provides [...] listeners with as good an entryway as any into the 'retro-metal' universe, while also managing to sound refreshing even to calloused heavy metal ears,' which, he suggests, 'is no small achievement.'[10]

Other reviews of Age of Winters were similarly positive – webzine PopMatters, awarded the album a favorable rating of seven out of ten, describing it as 'one fine, headbang-inducing beast of a debut record,'[11] while The Austin Chronicle summarised the album as 'literate' and 'visceral'.[12]

In popular culture[edit]

'Freya' appears as a playable song in Guitar Hero II and again in Guitar Hero Smash Hits and on the soundtrack of Burnout Dominator, and wayne (TV series).'Barael's Blade' was used in the season five American Dad! episode 'Rapture's Delight'.'Celestial Crown' is featured on the Jennifer's Body soundtrack.'Iron Swan' appears in the 2006 video game Tony Hawk's Project 8 and also appears in season nine American Dad! episode 'Minstrel Krampus'.

Danny Masseling (born 20 June 1981), better known by his stage nameAngerfist, is a Dutchhardcore producer and DJ.

Aside from his main alias, he also produces for other genres and subgenres under various aliases and is part of the following groups: The Supreme Team (with Outblast, Tha Playah & Evil Activities), Masters Elite (with Catscan and Outblast), and Roland & Sherman (with Outblast).

During live acts, he is accompanied by MC Prozac (Minne Roos).

Career[edit]

Masseling started making music at the age of 16. Beginning with 4-beat programmed loops and breakbeats, his interest in producing music started to grow.[1] He began his career in 2001 after sending a demo to Mark Vos, also known as DJ Buzz Fuzz, director of BZRK Records.[2] Vos liked the tape and signed Masseling, who then released his first EPs under the names 'Menace II Society' and 'Angerfist'.[3] Masseling soon gained popularity in the 'gabber scene' because of the aggressive nustyle sound he made. His style is characterized by hard bass drums and vocals sampled from various media, especially films. He already has some hardcore hits to his name, including: 'Dance With The Wolves', 'Raise Your Fist', and 'Riotstarter'. His increasing popularity gave him the opportunity to produce the anthem for Masters of Hardcore in 2005, titled 'The World Will Shiver'.

Angerfist has performed at many well known events such as Sensation Black, Masters of Hardcore, Defqon. 1, Mysteryland, and Dominator. He gained the prestigious 39th spot in DJ Mag's Top 100 DJ edition of 2011,[4] dropping to 42nd on the following year and rising to 34th place in 2013, thus being the number 1 hardcore act in the list. As of 2020, his highest ranking on the list was No. 29, which he achieved in 2018. He is currently ranked No. 33 on DJ Mag list for 2019.[5]

In July 2013, it was announced that the Bloodcage project would feature MC Prozac (in his alias of DJ Bloodcage) as the live face of the project, while still involving both artists (MC Prozac and Angerfist) in its studio output.[6]

During live acts with his MC, they almost always perform wearing specially designed ice hockey masks and black or white hoodies.
