After the comparatively rather weak 2005 Output of the Swedish band around Ausnahmegittaristen Oskar Dronjak I must admit that I am more than pleasantly surprised by Hammer Falls newest publication Threshold. A truly atmospheric, highly melodic and provided with many earwigs ingenious Metal CD has become Threshold. Everything is just right, and not only Hammerfall fans will enjoy this masterpiece of Metal. Dronjak and Co. have here actually surpassed itself and my current favorite CD of the band, Crimson Thunder to topped lengths. Especially horny I find the song Dark Wings, Dark Words, in which you get real goosebumps on consuming. For a party mood is however also provided namely in Mitgröhlnummern The Fire Burns Forever, Natural High or Howlin 'with the'Pac. Overall, a completely rounded and Hammerfall fans I can only express a strong buy recommendation. All other fans of good traditional tinged Metal music, I can only suggest times an ear to risk, because for you it might be worth.
