Great. Now G.R.R.Martin will kill the HammerFall character since they quoted him.

Winter Is Coming : A song about Game Of Thrones  The cover art is better than Infection (not very difficult). Now I'm waiting for the first single

I'm pretty sure Wildfire may also be a song about Game of Thrones.

Written by BubbaBlack on 27.05.2014 at 02:50 YEah! Bubbablack knew it first before all you guys, so he wins! Written by Irritable Ted on 26.05.2014 at 22:07 Exactly what I thought when I saw this pop up in my update feed, does anyone care about this band anymore? As with most Hammerfall albums I'll probably just pluck a couple songs from it and trash the rest. As for this reveal, the title promises to be one of their shittiest albums yet and the cover looks like they're stuck in the 90's.
---- pewpew.. gotcha

I'm sure they'll (r)Evolve into a band that sounds exactly the same, and I wouldn't have it any other way. HammerFall is the AC/DC of power metal. Good looking cover. Reminds me of the old albums.

Hammerfall was pretty much the band that got me into metal, so they always hold a special place in my music library. While I admit that I haven't been completely on board with their latest efforts (Infected was . . . . strange), I'm looking forward to this.

Written by deadone on 27.05.2014 at 02:19 That is a great album though, which means I can very easily overlook the misguided attempt at a "cool" album title. Every Hammerfall album has it's share of great and filler songs, and I feel confident that this album will be no different in that regard. As for the album cover, yep, it is cheesy, but it is also typical Hammerfall, so... I think it's a safe bet that Hammerfall fans will lap this album up, and people who have always hated them, will not have their minds changed by this album. I'm certainly not eagerly awaiting this album, but I'm sure it will contain some songs that I will enjoy, so I'll definitely check it out.

I want the name of the cover artist. So I put out a hit on his fucking head. What is their target, visually challenged little boys? And "(r)Evolution". Wow, now that's something original. And oh so smart. That changes the whole thing.

It seems Hammerfall have returned to their original artwork, just like Sonata Arctica (they have even written a "Wildfire" too xD). Are we before an imminent 90s eurometal revival? I hope so  . I love the cover but hate the album title, apart from the fact it does't fit at all with the picture. Anyway, I have good expectations!!

Well, I'm not going to get worked up too much, but this Still not a fan of that parenthetical nonsense, though. Written by Ilham on 27.05.2014 at 10:05 You're looking for Samwise Didier. Look him up, maybe. You'll either start to like him or hate him more.

Written by The Evergreen on 28.05.2014 at 18:35 Thank you, I've made my decision. Now that I have a picture, I just need an address and 20 grand. Yeah it's an expensive one, but I want the job done.

20 gees, huh? Well, at least you didn't fall for the 1000 dollar hitman trap. Just don't hire anyone from your gym and then blame it on the 'roids when you get caught, kay? Oh, and watch out for Hector. I might be an issue too, I mostly like the guy.

For me this band was interesting only in their first two albums, afterwards they lost all freshness. This ''new'' cover is a mere blend of ''glory to the brave'' and ''renegade'' covers, in fact we can call it auto-plagiarism. And it makes me think we won't find something original on it.

Written by Ilham on 27.05.2014 at 10:05 I know you asked that jokingly, but in all seriousness, the guy is an artist for Blizzard apparently, and I can speak for World of Warcraft anyways, over the years they have been making a noticeable effort to make the game increasing young child-friendly, visual design included. So yes, little boys are probably the intended audience of some of his work. Just rubbish album art if you ask me though, there's a good kind of cheesy and over the top but this is not it.

I'll take stereotypical HammerFall art over the stupid zombie thing they had going with their last album, and I was utterly sick of zombies THEN (which was three years ago).

Written by Andreas on 04.06.2014 at 09:17 Haha. As you could imagine, I do not have 20 Gs lying around waiting to be used to hire a hitman. I'd have used it on someone else anyway. I went to see what he did, and yes, he did tons of stuff that we can all recognize, but I still think it's ugly as fuck. But that's me.
