THUNDERSTONE - Tools Of Destruction

Το "Tools Of Destruction", που κυκλοφόρησε το 2005, είναι ένα εξαιρετικό άλμπουμ των Φινλανδών Thunderstone. Αν και αρχικά δεν εκτιμήθηκε από εμένα όσο έπρεπε, με τον καιρό αποδείχθηκε ένα προσεκτικά δουλεμένο έργο, γεμάτο συναίσθημα και φαντασία. Το συγκρότημα συνδυάζει παραδοσιακό power metal με επιρροές από θρυλικές μπάντες όπως οι Dio, Rainbow και Deep Purple, ενώ η φωνή του Pasi Rantanen, που θυμίζει Dio και Tony Martin, δίνει μια ξεχωριστή ζεστασιά.
