I enjoyed this alot but I loved the last hammerfall covers album so that does not say much about me lol. Actually thought the hammerfall covers album was fucking great

 

[Vinder]

That compilation looks awesome. I'll take it.

Got this a month ago it's alright. There are a handful of gems on this... I wouldn't go out of my way to buy it though.

The only songs I really enjoyed were:
FIREWIND: "Believe In Nothing" (NEVERMORE)
DREAM EVIL: "Let The Killing Begin" (ARCH ENEMY)

The Wolf was decent, nothing special, and Brand New Sin was ok. There were a couple others that were decent.

Also, I thought Arch Enemy completely butchered Book of Heavy Metal.

I wouldn't expect less from them.

I like those two and they are the top rated tracks on the album, I thought Arch Ememy's version was okay. I liked it, didn't love it. Though I'm a death metal fan. I don't know if you're into that genre?

 

[desert_demon]

It's interesting to see that Arch Enemy and Dream Evil do cover songs of each other!

 

[sixxswine]

This one is also noteworthy:
MANNTIS (with IN THIS MOMENT): "Heaven's A Lie" (LACUNA COIL)

Not at all, but Arch's effort on that song was just bad. They're talented musicians (though I can't stand the singer). It wasn't just the vocals though, the entire thing just felt off when listening to it. Something tells me a band like Into Eternity would have done a much better job with that track.

It doesn't surprise me. nor that I would waste my time listening to it either, still allergic to DM.

I was expecting it, but quite a shame seeing as it's one of my favorite songs - not to mention the fact that Gus G. played briefly with Arch.
