Hammerfall Band 2016

Since this is the 20th anniversary of HAMMERFALL‘s debut album Glory To The Brave, the band has decided to do something very special to celebrate this milestone. At this year’s Bang Your Head Festival in Germany and Sabaton Open Air in Sweden, HAMMERFALL will be joined on stage by Swedish Grammy nominees Draupner (featuring 3-time key-fiddle world champion Magnus Holmström) for an extensive Glory To The Brave session that you won’t see anywhere else!

HAMMERFALL’s vocalist Joacim Cans exclaims: “I have worked with these wizards of folk music before, and what they are capable of doing on their instruments is almost impossible. If Yngwie Malmsteen played key-fiddle his name would be Magnus Holmström. This will truly be an epic and unforgettable addition to the live set!”

Draupner represents the timeless Swedish folk music tradition and will put their very unique stamp on some of the HammerFall classics. Expect something very much out of the ordinary for this segment, as no other band on this level has incorporated the Swedish folk music and made the tradition come alive in a heavy metal setting. This will be reserved for the headline slot of these two festivals and nowhere else.

One of the most distinctive metal bands in the past 20 years and sometimes hailed as the saviours of heavy metal, HAMMERFALL recently announced the release of their upcoming album “Built To Last”, set to be released on November 4th on Napalm Records.

In the wake of what will be the band’s 10th studio effort, HAMMERFALL will embark on another celebrated tour over Europe, beginning on January 12th 2017 in Bremen, Germany. Now the band announced special guests GLORYHAMMER to be joining HAMMERFALL on their extensive European Tour, and the support will come from LANCER!

”We got exactly the support bands we wanted”, says guitarist Oscar Dronjak. ”There is no doubt in my mind that Lancer will be thoroughly enjoyed by all our fans, and Gloryhammer’s mighty and epic music will be the perfect lead-in to the HammerFall show that will follow. The World Wide (r)Evolution was a resounding success on every level with half of the shows sold out, and we can’t wait to get back on stage again to have a gigantic heavy metal party every night with all our Templar friends!”

HAMMERFALL Release New Single & Video “Hammer High”

Hammerfall Band 2016

Sweden’s heavy metal master HAMMERFALL is back with the release of their hotly anticipated 10th studio album ‘Built To Last’, which is set to see the light of day on November 4th 2016 on Napalm Records. After leaving fans breathless with their first single ‘The Sacred Vow‘, the band has now unleashed a brand new video for the track ‘Hammer High’.

After a 20 year-long global career, HAMMERFALL never stand still. In fact, these pioneers of modern melodic heavy metal haven’t slowed down, quite the opposite! Highly melodic and swift anthems, aggressive lead guitars, choruses you’ll sing along to for years, Joacim Cans’ inimitable, steel-melting voice (recorded once more with James Michael / SIXX:A.M. in Los Angeles) and all mixed by the great Fredrik Nordström (Studio Fredman) turn this offering into one of the most consistent, exciting and passionate albums you’ll ever hear. 2 decades of delivering this unique brand of classic metal has only served to make HAMMERFALL sound hungrier and more vital than at any point in the past!

It’s time to let the hammer fall: Watch the brand new video for ‘Hammer High’, at this location, taken from HAMMERFALL’s upcoming album ‘Built To Last’!

‘Built To Last’ coming November 4th 2016 on Napalm Records!

The brand new single “Hammer High” is the next Instant Gratification track for all of you ordering via iTunes and is now available as Standalone Single, Streaming and Download through all digital outlets:

iTunes – Amazon – Streaming
