-their approach leans more towards the “classic” metal bands of the 1970s (Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin, Scorpions) with the engagingly melodic aspects of bands such as Silverchair, Collective Soul, and Candlebox

2003 debut album from Finnish heavy metal band, who describe their sound as 80s flavored heavy metal punk. Spinefarm.
the info sheet on this one mentioned:

“Just out of curiosity, what do you think is going to happen when four guys whose background and taste in music ranges from death metal and hardcore to Sabbath, Zeppelin and blues get together and start cranking out tunes? Thats right, they R O C K.”
The sheet also categorized Heaven ‘n’ Hell like “Heavymetalpunk”.

“Turn Me Around” the Cd opener, sounded like a alternative song right out of the 90s, no Heavy Metal Here, No Punk, just typical mainstream commercial music , and Tom Hendriksson has the perfect vocals for this type of music, he could easily sing for some commercial acts as Silverchair, Collective Soul, Candlebox among others.

“Shy” is another hit, great song , catchy chorus, expect it soon on the radio waves, and actually I like this song very much, as a matter of fact, is my favorite song in the entire album. nice.

The rest of the album follow the same path of the after mentioned songs, some killers for sure, but I won’t go and explain every single song, because some are too much alike and this is not Heavy Metal, is Alternative music with Classic Heavy Metal influenced guitars.

So if you want some mainstream heavier Alternative Music with some influences of 80s Heavy Metal (Just listen “One of a Kind”), get this one, but if you are looking for stuff to headbang against the wall, seek elsewhere.
