I ****ing love Hammerfall cause they, both musically and lyrically, show a pure, corny, bombastic love for old school metal that transcends all cynicism and reminds me of when I was a kid glued to my computer, downloading all the metal I could with my dial-up connection and feeling like all of this metal **** was new and magical. It reminds me of a simpler, more pure time that is now forever lost and it makes me legit cry. Hammerfall makes me cry. Especially this song.

Hammerfall can be fun. I'm not really into them as such, but their older material does have some kind of warm, nostalgic appeal for me. My younger brother used to be very into them.
About getting into artists like I used to... Then sure, the world doesn't seem as simple as it used to when I was younger. Life is more complicated, the world is a mean place and all that... but somehow, I never lost that ability to be blown away by some new music, movie, book or whatever. I feel like my love for Dir En Grey is as strong as my love for Megadeth was back when i was a teenager. Maybe that means that I'm naive and
too easily impressed, or maybe it means that I never lost sight of what is after all really amazing about life. You tell me.
