Mosh It Up Baby

Artist: Hammerfall

Album: Masterpieces

Availability: out July 22, on cd.

I love cover albums. You either get to hear a band you like do their take on a cool song, or in a lot of cases you get to hear new cool songs that you might not have ever heard before. Im a Hammerfall nut and I used to buy all their singles so I have heard two of the songs on the album, Dio's: Man on the Silver Mountain and Helloween's: I Want Out, which are both kick ass. Other highlights include Accept's - 'Head over Heels and Riot's - 'Flight of the Warrior'. There are a few duds but over a solid album. If you are a hardcore Hammerfall fan then its a no brainer for everyone else check out at least those 4 songs.
