WoW Holy Firewinged Templar Spirit of Divine Justice and Sacred Retribution, it's time to sharpen the axes...or, blunt the hammers actually... Seriously, Hammerfall may be the incarnation of cheese itself, but they are as good as cheese gets, I just can't help but mindlessly worship them...

Looking forward to catch this one! It will surely be a masterpiece, what else can we expect from Hammerfall?

This cover is so... 9/11 terror stuff. I hope it does not take that way to be more commercial and profitable.

Awesome cover, although I dont know the the templar has wings now. Last time I saw him he was riding a gryphon around.

Yet another awesome cover by samwise didier. For those gamers out there you should recognize his artistic style from world of warcraft (which happens to have a city called hammerfall in it...).

Written by Hrothdane on 23.11.2008 at 21:52 AND a dwarf named Hammerfall too... The guy's responsible for all of the Warcraft art material and probably more Blizzard projects, not only WoW's (which I personally despise, both as a game, and as the art involved in it - it's freakin' childish...), and he's been doing artworks for Hammerfall for quite some time now, plus he did the cover for Cans' solo album, which is kindа different and nice...  P.S. Oh, and by the way...I nearly had a heart attack today...cuz HAMMERFALL ARE PLAYING HERE APRIL NEXT YEAR...and how cool is that...

Written by Metal Maiden on 23.11.2008 at 22:21 No he isn't responsible for all of it. He does do most of the WoW character designs. Chris Metzen is responsible for a good deal of it, especially their earlier work. The senior art designers for blizzard have a website here http://www.sonsofthestorm.com/ that you can check out their concept work. I happen to like his artwork. It not as visceral as Metzen's, but it has a lot of character to it and vibrant colors, and that is obviously not all he can do. The new armor and environment designs in the WotLK expansion prove that.

Being responsible for WoW art is nothing to be proud of. And the cover looks like some very cheap CG. Not for me.

Written by Hrothdane on 24.11.2008 at 02:36 oh come on man, the guy has a cape AND has wings. i will make the bold statement to say that this clearly awful cover by my favorite rapper Mac Mall is better than the HammerFall one [url] http://www.netweed.com/prohiphop/graf/shrooms.jpg [/url]

Written by LeChron James on 24.11.2008 at 02:41 Hector is an uber-paladin, what do you expect! It may be cheesy, but it suits HammerFall perfectly. And I think that album cover you linked is HILARIOUS. I almost want to listen to it now (and I REALLY don't like rap >_>)

Whatever happened to metal album covers that are painted by hand? Earlier Hammerfall covers were great, now this looks like some anime cartoon. Did not expect that from the purveyors of the ol' classic metal spirit. The backdrop is very VERY reminiscent of "Peace Sells"... Takin' the mascot (does he have a name anyway?) into thrash territory, no less.
