Metal Dreams (1999)

About this title: The Nuclear Blast label sampler Metal Dreams is actually a rather impressive introduction to the label's roster; there's a predominance of Judas Priest/Iron Maiden-inspired power-metal revivalists (Primal Fear, Stratovarius, Hammerfall) and Gothic/symphonic metal bands (Lacuna Coil, Amorphis, Therion). It's a handy introduction to turn-of-the-millennium trends in metal and may pique listeners' interest in the individual artists. Steve Huey, All Music Guide
