If any metal act should bring a blacksmith on tour, it's these sword-wielding Swedes.
About HammerFall
Artist Biography
One of the leading lights of the European metal resurgence in the mid- to late '90s, Sweden's Hammerfall helped bring melodic power metal back to the forefront of a scene that was struggling to find its footing amidst the alt-rock/grunge boom and have continued to stay relevant in the decades that followed. Emerging in 1997 with the Swedish Grammy-winning Glory to the Brave, subsequent outings like Renegade (2000), Threshold (2006), (r)Evolution (2014), and Dominion (2019) proved to be just as popular throughout Europe and the Americas as they were at home, with multiple releases going gold. The band issued Hammer of Dawn and the deluxe remastered package Renegade 2.0 in 2022. In 2024, following a pair of world tours and an opening jaunt for Helloween, the band released their 13th album, Avenge the Fallen.
