"BEYOND THE GATES"

Hammerfall's singer makes his solo album debute. You do hear some Hammerfall-esque like moments but all around, this album is darker and more in your face. Just a linquistical note: His name is not pronounced the (cans) as in soda cans. Rather, since he is not American, the "A" is pronounced like "Ah" in father. It sounds more like "Cons".
