Still on a natural high following a hugely successful two-year tour with the German metal veterans HELLOWEEN under the banner of the United Forces tour, that took both bands all over the world together, the award-winning Swede’s HAMMERFALL are back to avenge the fallen!
“Everything is like it’s always been”, HAMMERFALL’s founder and guitarist Oscar Dronjak says with pride. He continues: “When I started HAMMERFALL more than 30 years ago it was because no one played the music that I grew up with and was a huge fan of. If no one did it, it was up to me to do it and that’s how it is still to this day. The music I write is the music that I love and believe in, heavy metal can’t be faked and that’s a fact!”
A fact as clear as ever before when HAMMERFALL gets ready to unleash their 13th album Avenge The Fallen on the 9th of August, 2024. That’s right, less than a year after taking the final bow of the United Forces tour the quintet of Oscar, singer Joacim Cans, bass player Fredrik Larsson, guitarist Pontus Norgen, and drummer David Wallin are back with ten brand new solid pieces of classic heavy metal. “This is our 13th album”, Joacim says with pride. “How do you still stay relevant after 13 albums? It’s very much like the opening line to the song “Avenge The Fallen”: What is the worst, be the one who died, or be the one who survived. Think about it, because it is a tough question”. He continues, “Do we want to be a band who releases new music just for the sole reason of getting out on the road again or do we want to keep pushing and challenging ourselves? In times where people have less and less attention span, we still think in the form of full-length albums. A few good songs don’t make a strong album. A strong album comes from an album full a great songs and that’s what we’re delivering with Avenge The Fallen.”
“We are in a fortunate position where we nowadays actually can compose while being on tour”, Oscar explains. “That’s something that would have been impossible just ten years ago. In many ways, I even think this album benefited from getting off stage somewhere in Germany and then heading straight to the tour bus, where we had a small studio set up in the back lounge. By doing so we were still oozing adrenaline when the new material was crafted.” (…read more at Nuclear Blast Records page)
