HammerFall are without doubt one of my fav power metal bands and they along with Stratovarius broke the dominance of the big three German power metal bands in Europe. The Batlord has summed up the HammerFall album perfectly, so I need say no more on it. I actually think the following Gamma Ray album Somewhere in Space to be the stronger album, than the one that was selected. The Blind Guardian album though is a power metal legend and the creative highpoint of the band, a concept album based on Middle-Earth that runs for over an hour, this is European power metal at its very best and the copious interludes are essential here.

HammerFall- 1
Blind Guardian- 1
Gamma Ray- 1
