Hammerfal - Built to Last

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', taken from HAMMERFALL's upcoming album 'Built To Last', worldwide today!

I dug these guys' first few CDs (esp. "Legacy of Kings") but I lost track of 'em quite a few albums ago. I think the last one I bought was "Threshold," which was what. '06 or '07?

I love this band. "Infected" from a few years back is the only misstep in my opine. The last album, "(r)Evolution" was a great return to form. Some bands shouldn't attempt a concept album or stray too far from what they do best. Found out a bout this one the other day while surfing amazon for the new Twisted Sister "Metal Meltdown" set. Looking forward.

I will surely be picking this one up when it is out.

Infected was a great album imo. Different but addictive.

Almost all of my favourite bands have released new material in 2016. What a year.

Not bad, but I still have my breath...

The song is ok. Nothing that special. I learnt never to judge an album based on a single.

Fingers crossed.

I always look forward to HammerFall. They're the type of band that doesn't really deviate from their sound but always deliver the goods. I'll be picking this one up.

I heard a new song called Hammer High that didn't do much for me at all. I've heard they are planning on touring the States next year with Delain.

So i was listening to this album earlier tonight on my way back home from work. It has so much potential. Anyone else still playing this one?

Listened a couple times and nothing too memorable.
