Primal Fear - Nuclear Fire (2001)

I have finished my Outside School Hours Care job of the last four years, and it was pretty difficult to say goodbye to the kids. :-/ Two of them were crying (I've had endless goodbyes before, and usually the only tears have been mine), and I'm now here looking to opening my Ebay shop and wondering what the future holds.
But this is a blog about power metal, not my professional life, so let's get to 2001, and start with German band Primal Fear.
This, their third album, is more speedy metal in the vain of Judas Priest (especially in regards to vocalist Ralph Scheepers) and, presumably, covering the topic of nuclear war, going by the title, cover and grim(ish) lyrics. The band's style I don't think will ever win me over completely, but it's quite enjoyable in its own way.  Best songs include "Angel In Black", "Eye Of An Eagle" and "Nuclear Fire".
