Persuader

While Germany remains the top producer of 80's-styled power/speed metal bands, Sweden is arguably a close second, with HammerFall being the most well-known band alongside contenders such as Lost Horizon, Nocturnal Rites, and Defender. Persuader deserves to be mentioned in the same breath as these bands, as their two albums released thus far can attest. Most reminiscent of early HammerFall or perhaps Blind Guardian (particularly in the vocal department), the band deliver exactly the type of quality metal that power metal fans are accustomed to, with enough vigor and songwriting variance to avoid the heard-it-before tag. There's an endless supply of Euro power metal bands these days, and perhaps not all of them are deserving of attention, but Persuader is.
