Listening to the Bleed for the Gods CD from German band Powergod. Mission for this album was to recreate the real metal like it was in the 80s through covers. They do an excellent job. From well known (Manowar - Kill with Power, Anthrax - Madhouse) to very obscure (Savage Grace - Bound to be Free, Hallows Eve - Metal Merchants) the bring classic metal with a modern day production. Highlights are Ruler of the Wasteland (Chastain) and the Manowar song mentioned above. Quite surprising how the vocals work out.

Speaking of the vocals, towards the end it appears as weakness. Not of the album, but of the music as such. Listening to all those songs from the mid eighties it becomes painfully obvious that there wasn't much differentiation in vocal styles back then.

I see the band even made their website in old school style :p
