Yes, Death Dealer definitely has thrash influences. But all the songs on the album are not like that. Hammer Down, for example, is a kick ass metal song. It has that pounding drum beat that I love and gives it the classic metal sound. Children Of Flames, the ballad of the album, would have it's place in any classic metal album. So for me, it's a mix of classic metal and thrash, I don't hear any death metal influences.
In my personal opinion Hammerfall are better than Black Sabbath,Iron Maiden,OZZY,DIO ECT....
Every blue moon the fanbase of old heavy metal picks up thier instruments and creates another chapter for themselves,and to me(not everbody else) Hammerfall have achieved a quality discography based on thier excellent song writting skills,thier excellent MELODIES" .
Each Lp (except 2011's Infected album which I didnt care for) only has 1 under-par less quality track on it except 2006 "Threshold" LP which there are only 2 under-par tracks.
Another reason I like this band is that they are not so close in image & sound to Judas Priest.....
Bands like Primal Fear,Cage,new Death Dealer,ect...they all have vocalists that sound and look too much like Rob Halford and thier tracks are all based from influences from the Painkiller Lp and Jugulator....there isnt enough older styled 80's metal in there,Halford bassist Mike Davis band Death Dealer is total metal and all,but borders on the line of almost thrash....its almost a cross between heavy metal and death metal just with clear vocals,just not for me but not saying these bands are not worthy for someone else.

When Judas Priest,Saxon,Iron Maiden,Motorhead,Accept and other older bands that are at the end of thier long career retire for good,there will be a handfull of albums/artists that will fill that void with quality heaavy metal music but what band is really out there that will be your #1 current active band when that time comes?
Mine will be Hammerfall,because thier song writting is consistant. The lead vocalist Joacim Cans in my opinion has the best backing vocal harmonies with Hammerfall of all time,although I'm not saying he is the best vocalist of all time no,but he sure the hell is ranked up there in the top 5.
And he is 43 years old,Oscar Dronjak the founding member guitarist is 41 years old,the rest of the band are of the same age and they have said they want to be around 25 years from now,so they have got plenty of albums ahead of them. There will be other bands that are kick ass,but untill proven otherwise for myself Hammerfall remains in my opinion the 3rd best heavy metal band of all time,hell yeah!

(In my opinion) (Not trying to convince anybody else,or saying J.Cans is a better vocalist than this guy or that guy ect...) but for "myself" I've been studying pure heavy metal bands (with NO thrash,black,death,hardcore ect..elements or influences) for over a year straight non stop and out of 8 LPs in the band's career 7 of them are masterpices for me,the last LP "2011's Infected" is the ONLY Hammerfall LP I do not like,but they are working on a new LP for 2014 with Hector on the cover again along with thier style ect.....
