Power Metal at it's finest!
They are solid in every respect. What Hammerfall does is write good tunes. Vocally they rock, instrumentally they rock, production wise they rock. It just always sounds good and that's what you want if you're going to be spending your hard earned dollars on cd's.

This is yet again another masterpiece. Theirs really not much to say about it, after all it's sounds like it's supposed to and that means it's as good or better than anything else they've ever done.

If you like these guys or power metal in general?, pick it up as you wont be disappointed! .


Power Metal!!!
I think the sound on this album is more powerful, but they are both musically equal and great. This along with HammerFall's "Glory To The Brave" are my favorites from HammerFall's catalogue. Get this - it's a must have for powermetalheads!.


Excellent Band
The music is very fast paced, very energitic, I think it's a mix of Iron Maiden and In Flames. I got to hear this band live at the Circus club in the Village are of NYC, they had a great stage presence. A lot of the songs are about war, how can one go wrong with that!. I believe the band is from Norway. Technically the music is ok, I heard a few good guitar solo's in some of their songs. But the singer is amazing, he sings with a force you would think your listening to Iron Maiden, and if you are an Iron Maiden fan, I would highly recommend it.

You have to listen to the music loud because it's fast paced style does not deserve anything less the ear splitting volume. A must for the Heavy Metal Connoisseur, great addition to my Metal music collection

The first few songs are fast and hard, but Remember Yesterday (track 5) is slow and gives you a Metallica's Unforgiven feel.


Power Metal at its Best!!
Most of the other modern so called "metal" bands are nothing but screaming [. Hammerfall is one of the best modern metal bands around today. . . ] Hammerfall took the best parts of 80's metal and solidified it together with an updated sound. They have a lot of skill and talent. Their songs are powerful and heavy and yet actually have melody that you can follow. You can hear and understand all the words. But again, they are extremely powerful and heavy. They have a constant Middle Age theme running through all their albums which is what makes them unique. It creates a certain mood and flow that connects all the songs on an album.

Now about rating their albums. . . all 5 of their albums rock! But the last 4 are better than the first. Their first is good heavy metal, much better than most metal bands today, but the songs did not completely "click" and come together. However, that issue was completely gone by the second album! None of their next 4 albums are better than the other. They all are as good as heavy power metal with melodic vocals can get. On each album they further develop their style and introduce a few new things. But. . . and a very important but. . . each album still sounds like Hammerfall! They remain true to their sound. So here are the ratings:
3. 5 Glory to the Brave
5. 0 Legacy Of Kings
5. 0 Renegade
5. 0 Crimson Thunder
5. 0 Chapter V: Unbent, Unbowed, Unbroken

.


The best of the best
Legacy of Kings is one of the best songs ever ,but the whole album is just good metal ,the style is not changed but every album and is different from the other but good ,I totally love it and I strongly recommend!.
