 This is Power metal Alright with a capital P (and A), so away with problems, the usual everyday nonsense, away with Metallica, Dream Theater, away with the ones who are a pain because Dream Theater isn't spelled right, away with everything, close your bedroom door, turn the volume up to the max, and enjoy the essence of pure Scandinavian power metal.
