Opinions:
HammerFall was formed by Dronjak, Jesper Strömblad of In Flames, and Niklas Sundin and Mikael Stanne of Dark Tranquillity as a tribute to 80s Euro-metal, in particular Helloween. While the line-up had changed drastically by the time of the debut album, HammerFall's mission had clearly not wavered. The first two albums are truly superior examples of heavy, riff-infested European power metal. The others are strictly generic.
