Hammerfall: Metal the Way It Was Meant To Be

Review Score: (8/10)
Growing up to bands like Sabbath, Maiden, Priest, Deep Purple and other metal band of this ilk, it's great to see that there is a new generation of metal band that are producing metal with intelligent lyrics, epic song structure, lead singers who sing and don't song like a band immitation of the Cookie Monster.

This is my first foray into these new crop of bands and this will not be my last. This album rocks with strong heavy metal anthems ( at times it is a bit repetitive, hence the 4 rather than 5 stars). A good metal ballad. I intend to buy more Hammerfall and also look into bands like Blind Guardian and Iced Earth. Metal is back...thank the Gods!
