Freedom Call - Hero Nation
(what the hell is fc doing?!.. i like my FC fast, catchy and melodic.. the new album is ok, but by far the worst fc album till now)
i guess, but don't expect a new "eternity" or "stairway to fairyland", cause the material is very much based on slower mid tempo tracks and hard rock tunes. But there are some good songs.. I believe you'll love "the eternal flame". Catchy melody on that one, that's for sure!
The thing with Hammerfall in recent years for me is they have great riffs but the choruses tend to be a let down for me sometimes...maybe it's just me?
