I was at a CD shop in Plano, Texas in 1997, when the owner of the shop had 'Glory to The Brave' playing. I saw the CD cover and said "Now this is heavy metal!' The store copy was the only one they had, and I wanted to buy it. So when I left the CD shop I was in the parking lot, and the owner came out with the store copy and sold it to me. Heavy/Power/Traditional Heavy Metal was underground, if not dead, at that time in the US. But along with HammerFall's debut album, Rhapsody also release their debut album in 1997. All of a sudden, there was a spark, there was hope, there was the return of heavy metal, in a dark time for true heavy metal - the beleaguered 1990s. I think many people who were 1980s metalheads in the USA, were not aware of what was happening over in Europe at that time. I really didn't know either until 1997. I soon noticed how this renaissance of heavy/power metal soon grew and grew, and eventually became quite big by the early 2000s - but not in the USA. It's good to see HammerFall has continued all these years playing what us '80s headbangers love. I am reminded that the NWOBHM bands back in 1979-1981 had to climb a mountain to survive - and they did; so too did the European power metal bands of the late '90s - they too had to climb a mountain to survive. It was a long shot, but it paid off. Heavy Metal was ultimately victorious in both musical eras.

Yes, HammerFall Kept the Flame Burning all along😃 But if you're not familiar with it, you should also check the J-Metal scene. Heavy Metal seems to have its secondary residence there now, particularly with all female bands. I recommend LOVEBITES to you (and to others who will read this), an all-female metal band singing in English and playing Power/Thrash/traditional Heavy Metal (NWOBHM inspired). They were the first Japanese band to play at Wacken Open Air (in 2018). Check them, you won't regret it

"Brotherhood" There was a time, not so long ago You came to our side Sisters and brothers confessing their creed By the Hammer, unified Through fire and ice, and through thunderous skies For better and for worse A lifetime devotion, a glorious call Bringing magic to our heavy metal ball We hear our brothers sing along While our sisters standing strong We would not be here without you Onward we march through the fires of hell Just to be first at the strike of the bell Welcome inside the scene of the crime Our sanctified domain We bring the action, the hammer will fall We are one, we are untamed We all remember, and we'll never forget The Templars made of steel With hearts made of fire you bang to the beat Raise your fist and get your ass up from your seat There's no sleep till' morning Until a new day's dawning Scream and shout, let it all out Onward we march through the fires of hell Just to be first at the strike of the bell Brotherhood open for one and for all Hammers held high we are heeding the call If you don't like it there is the door Heavy is our metal, hear our mighty roar Onward we march through the fires of hell Just to be first at the strike of the bell Brotherhood open for one and for all Hammers held high we are heeding the call 🤘🔥🤘
