Hammerfall Built To Last

2016, Sweden's Heavy Metal legends Hammerfall are back, and are not just celebrating 20 years of a successful career which inspired an entire genre and beyond, but they are also releasing their brand new and 10th studio album BUILT TO LAST. In times when finest steel was no longer considered the crowning of our beloved genre, Hammerfall came to the rescue and blew everyone away with melodic finesse and sincerity: longplayers such as GLORY TO THE BRAVE (1997) and RENEGADE (2000) quickly established the Swedes as pioneers of a modern version of classic 80s metal - and they surely haven't slowed down any since! BUILT TO LAST definitely boasts a programmatic title and brilliantly displays the strengths of the band. Highly melodic and swift anthems, aggressive lead guitars, choruses you'd kill your mother for and Joacim Cans' inimitable, steel-melting voice (recorded once more with James Michael) turn this oeuvre into one of the most consistent, exciting and passionate Hammerfall ever recorded!
