Summon In Thunder is Himsa's fourth and last full-length album. It was released September 18, 2007 through Century Media Records. Music videos were made for the songs "Unleash Carnage" and "Big Timber".
Reception[edit]
Blabbermouth.net states "The first class recording team... ...harnesses the unit's musical ferocity, emphasizing every detail, right down to vocalist terrorist John Pettibone's paint-peeling delivery. It is in fact an all-consuming sound with an emphasis on the splitting of ears. The shock of the up tick in fury occurring after the first spin is downright destabilizing."[1]
Sputnikmusic states that this is "their most accomplished album to date" and "keeps [Himsa] in front of the common metalcore crowd, with their preference to evolve at their own pace, rather completely switching sounds from record to record to gain the approval of the Myspace audience, completely shatter the walls between the metal and hardcore genres while injecting this rubble with sheer brutality, giving Himsa the sound of a ferocious, caged animal trying to escape from confinement."[2]
Jason Jordan on the Last Rites website states the album "is a good, thrashy metalcore record that surpasses the band’s previous entries, but not by a considerable distance", that "Summon in Thunder is noticeably heavier and more memorable than any disc in their catalog", and "it’s also a testament to the fact that this quintet is improving while moving up the metal ladder simultaneously."[3]
