This cd is worth every dollar you spend buying it.If you are a HammerFall fan or not.If your a fan of metal and don't listen to HammarFall go out and buy this cd.They do an awesome job on all the songs.They don't play with the original arrangements too much and that's fine with me.If your looking for a fresh new sound to some old metal classics this it!You won't be sorry.

I'm not a huge Hammerfall fan by any means. I respect the Swedish power metal band's talents and generally like their music, but to this point I've been content with the Steel Meets Steel: Ten Years Of Glory collection. Still, I'm always curious when bands record covers albums, and the track listing of Hammerfall's Masterpieces was impressive enough that I had to take notice. Here's what you get:
1. Child of the Damned (Warlord) - This was originally available on Glory to the Brave
2. Ravenlord (Stormwitch) - This was also on Glory to the Brave
3. Eternal Dark (Picture) - This was originally on Heeding the Call EP
4. Back to Back (Pretty Maids) - This was originally on Legacy of Kings
5. I Want Out (Helloween) - This, of course, was the title track of the I Want Out single
6. Man on the Silver Mountain (Rainbow) - Also included on the I Want Out single
7. Head Over Heels (Accept) - This was on the Renegade single
8. Run With the Devil ... Read More

I've always pretty much enjoyed what these guys bring to the table and this selection of cover tunes is a darn good offering from them as well.
All the tunes sound fresh and have been slightly tweaked in the HammerFall way which is probably why they sound so fresh!!
Anyway, for a cover cd, this is probably one of the best ones I've heard in quite sometime. It's all good stuff and it rocks!
