Product Description

Digitally remastered edition of this classic 1988 power metal album. History books have heralded Norway as the black metal movement's most fertile breeding ground, but the country's heavy metal scene isn't exclusively about corpse paint and Helvete. One of the finest and most underrated groups to come out of the land of 10,000 lakes is undoubtedly Artch. Formed in 1983, the power metal outfit released two demos before hooking up with Eric Hawk, a killer vocalist from Iceland. With Hawk on board, Artch would eventually sign with Metal Blade Records and release Another Return to Church Hill, their debut full-length. Arriving in stores in 1988, the album garnered rave reviews from the heavy metal media of the day. Kerrang blessed the record with a perfect 5-K rating, while Metal Forces deemed it an instant classic, giving it 100 points, the magazine's top score. Out of print on CD in North America since the early 90's!
