Crimson Thunder (с англ. «Багровый гром») — четвёртый альбом шведской пауэр-метал-группы HammerFall. В звучании можно уловить заметное «потяжеление» (по сравнению с ранними работами группы) и отход от быстрого пауэра в сторону более медленного, хотя и мелодичного, хэви-метала.Текст в блоке "Читать" взят с сайта "Википедия" и доступен по лицензии Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike; в отдельных случаях могут действовать дополнительные условия.
