Absolutely HRMG,good professional band....I think what I meant was not death metal but thrash elements that were found in Jugulator and not Painkiller (similar to when Ripper Owens screams "MUTILATE" on the Jugulator track) except with Death Dealer there is much more small thrash influences but not full thrash....there arent any influences of Priest before Painkiller but not that there has to be or anything....
I think my over all opinion is that (for me I'm talking about) Shawn Peck looks and sounds too much like Rob.....same thing with the sound and image of Primal Fear as well,but this is my opinion.....but Death Dealer is a professional talented band,no doubt about that,definately a heavy-metal-thrash band.
With Hammerfall there are no thrash elements and the vocalist Joacim Cans laughs when they are called a "power metal band" as he repeatedly lables Hammerfall classic heavy metal from influences of Judas Priest,Iron Maiden,Saxon and Accept....but this thread isnt to try and convince anybody to agree with me....
Never thought I would find a band that could (in my personal individual opinion which would not be shared by many I know this) top Iron Maiden and Black Sabbath,but for me Hammerfall has achieved this status,I'd put up thier discography(except 2011's Infected LP) against Maidens any day....the only 2 lps of Maiden they couldnt top would be Killers and The number of the beast in my opinion fir example....
But again,I dont want or expect others to have my opinion about Hammerfall....for years to come they will be my metal saviors thats for sure,hell yeah!
