This isn't metal, but indeed very good. Try Samael, great swiss metal.
It's not metal?
does that mean Def Leppard and Krokus aren't metal either?
Def leppard's first two albums are NWOBHM, and then moved to Hard Rock.
Krokus' debut album is Traditional Metal, and then moved to really gay, mediocre Cock Rock.
What do you consider their debut (Krokus)? I don't have that, but I def have the 2nd one, the Long stick one and Headhunter (on LP of all things),
which are pretty decent AC/DC isnpired hard rock with some Metal touches, especially Headhuner (Eat the Rich is bad assed). After that they stunk. I don't think I would ever call them Trad Metal though even by 70's standards set by Priest, Rainbow and the Scorpions.
For the debut album, I would agree with the bolded part, just throw in a little bit of Accept-type guitar-work(nowhere near the level of Accept though) and stir.
I think it has enough Metal in it to be considered Metal, but it walks the fine line between Metal and Hard Rock.
