Metal Shock Finland (World Assault )

“One More Time”, the new single from Swedish melodic metallers HAMMERFALL, is available for streaming on the band’s Facebook page.

On April 8, Nuclear Blast Records will release a limited-edition picture seven-inch version of “One More Time” from the band’s upcoming album “Infected”. The vinyl is limited on 500 copies and sold through the Nuclear Blast mailorder only. On the B-side of the single there will be a live version of “Hallowed Be My Name” recorded at the Scandinavium in Gothenburg, Sweden in 2009. The digital version of the single will contain an additional instrumental version of “One More Time”.

“Infected” will be released on May 20 via Nuclear Blast Records. Laying down the foundation themselves in their own studio in Sweden, the members of HAMMERFALL then traveled to Nashville, Tennessee to finish it up with acclaimed producer James Michael (MÖTLEY CRÜE, SCORPIONS, MEAT LOAF). He also mixed the album, giving it a decisive updated edge without losing any of the essence of the band’s sound. “James helped us create something that was new and exciting while still in the line of our heritage”, Oscar Dronjak, guitar player and founder of the band, explains.

“Never before have we sounded this fresh and up to date without losing the essence of what HAMMERFALL is all about: pure ‘infected’ heavy metal!” comments vocalist and frontman Joacim Cans.

“You will experience us like you’ve never done before! We’ve got a lot of fresh influences shining through in the music, but everything you love about HAMMERFALL will still be there,” says Oscar. “This is HAMMERFALL in 2011, the legend has been reborn!”
