Aside from Manowar's Kings of Metal, Helloween?s Keeper of the Seven Keys 2 and Gamma Ray's Land of the Free... this is an all-time classic power metal? The solo in Nightfall is a song within a song. And best of all, the drums still sound great and human. They don't have the robotic termite-smashing feeling which started to annoy me in heavy metal after 1995. This belongs to the top 50 list of essential heavy metal.
