2557 Nocturnal Rites - Ring of Steel

From: Tales of Mystery and Imagination; Year: 1997; Genre: Power Metal

I had this song on my mind this morning, so, as I always do, I took it as a sign that I was to pick it.
Anyway, much to the dismay to others it's written very similar to Johann Pachelbel's Cannon in D-Minor. For the first 1:20 or so it plays the melody in a classical chamber music style and then kicks in for with the full band. I absolutely love this one; it's fun to listen to and the different ways they play that melody within the context of the song.
