Well, I am a new fan of Eternal Sears Of Sorrow. Some months ago I listened to A Virgin And A Whore for the first time and I really liked how they have produced their music. Aside all this, they sound somewhat similar to Kalmah, although Eternal Sears Of Sorrow is slightly softer and smoother. Actually, Finnish bands are always the greatest symbols of extreme power metal.

Nevertheless, I daresay you will like the cover much better (if you are more into extreme power rather than old-school heavy metal...) Besides, Udo Dirkschneider (Accept's vocalist back then) has a really unique voice - may take some time before it grows on you... But you really SHOULD give it a listen, the voice DOES grow on most people after some time... Link to the Accept version, courtesy of YouTube Loading...
