I became aware of the wonderful Sergeant Thunderhoof when I reviewed their superb last LP This Sceptred Veil<\/em> back in 2022. That album was in my top ten of that year and has been on heavy rotation at Kendrick towers ever since. I love the band so much that I bought all their material up to that point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To say I\u2019ve been looking forward to the follow up to TSV is very much an understatement. The band released a single: ‘Blood Moon’<\/em> recently and it\u2019s a superb taster of what\u2019s to come on their latest long player: The Ghost of Badon Hill.<\/em> This time around, we get a concept album based on their native Somerset history and mythology. Based on a real-life battle between the Britons and the Anglo Saxons at Badon Hill in Bath, the album delves deep into some fascinating folklore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
