Has been my favorite band for over two years (around the release of Nightmare), and I think I'm in the vast minority when I say Hail to the King has brought me back to the band a bit, I went to see them live on the HttK tour and they were amazing, playing songs from pretty much their whole discography, two best openers I could've wished for (Shepherd of Fire -> Critical Acclaim), and on top of that, a new drummer who is full of energy, does everything he has to perform perfectly, with a great drum solo on top of that. Have they become a bit generic with their new album? Maybe, but I thought it is a nice change, besides, they seem to charish their old stuff just as much as their fans do, judging from the live shows.
