Hammerfall - New Album Finished


After several months of recordings in Göteborg, Sweden and Nashville, TN, Sweden's most successful heavy metal band HammerFall has finished recording the new album.

Guitarist Oscar Dronjak had the following to say: "That's it, the album recording is finally finished, over, done with! We had an absolute blast throughout this whole experience, and working with James Michael (Mötley Crüe, Sixx: A.M., Scorpions, Meat Loaf, Hillary Duff) was an incredible experience!

The goal was to have a lot of laughs while creating the strongest Hammerfall record to date, and I'd say we succeeded beyond even our own high expectations! It feels great to know that being in this band for fifteen years can feel this invigorating! We're super, super happy with the outcome, and I am sure our fans will be as well. It's going to be Hammerfall like you've never heard before, yet you will recognize the distinct qualities that makes us what and who we are. If Reinventing The Steel hadn't already been used, it would be the perfect title for this album!"

The as-yet-untitled new record is slated for a May 20th release in Europe through Nuclear Blast Records.

These guys make great songs, but pretty bad albums......i feel like if you took any two releases and extracted the the good songs, you could get a great album!

That's exactly what I expect.
Anyway, when a band begins an announcement by saying "Sweden's most successful heavy metal band Hammerfall has finished recording the new album", it tells a lot about the credibility of what they will tell after.

Haha Hillary Duff

I can imagine her in much better places than behind a mic. And singing a different kind of song.

In spanish that is called "efecto auto-bombo" ("auto-bass-drum" effect). Lack of humility and true love to the art... Even when I love HammerFall music, I dislike when a band speaks this way. Thankfully there are still around bands like BG that just brings us without foolish blabbery their excellent music

I doubt its really the band itself that speaks like that... It's more likely more of a marketing thing. Filling up peoples heads with what some marketing duchebag thinks we would like to hear. One way or another, its all comes down to money, be it metal or pop. Which is sad.
