HAMMERFALL

Release Year: 2002
Artist Origin: SWE
Style: massive epic thunderous heavy metal

the fourth bestseller album by acclaimed leaders in thunderous power/heavy metal tries to maintain natural and acceptable angle of music, delivering eleven solid, mature and epic tracks, brimming with fast-paced guitar riffs, trademark memorable choruses, heavy pounding drumming, and masterfully shredding solos, pumping the iron energy all the album long; raspy voice of Joacim Cans, clear lyrical statement and overall level of metalization turn this into pure and electrifying experience, while the similarity to previous releases just confirms the ever-growing and continuous importance of the Swedish five-piece; recent German edition comes with authentic design and bonus Yngwie Malmsteen Rising Force cover track
