HammerFall’s “Avenge the Fallen” Album Download ZIP & MP3 Free Files
Sweden’s servers of the studious Hammerfall return with their thirteenth album – Avenge The Fallen. The album immediately thunders in with title track Avenge The Fallen, which with festival season fast approach will surely be a live favourite whilst The End Justifies well, pun intended really hammers home the true spirit of fist raising heavy metal with the formidable power and theatrics
A lot of this album was created and crafted on the road but manages to somehow have a natural flow it to it, for example the dominant basslines and chants of Freedom is nothing short of anthemic and is a perfect example of the creativeness of Oscar and Joacim
Hail To The King slows the pace right down with a narrative feel which is rich with atmospherics, and wave of wave of solos and progresses naturally into the album’s crowning glory – Hero To All
“_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!”
One straight from the archives is theis the track based upon ideas spawned as far back as two decades is the ballad Hope Springs Eternal which is something that has been in the Hammerfall arsenal for some time at yet again it delivers on all fronts, alongside other stand out tracks this is certainly one that really is the band in a bottle.

About Artist:
After guitarist Oscar Dronjak left Ceremonial Oath, he requested drummer Jesper Strömblad (of Ceremonial Oath and In Flames) to join him on a new musical project he had been thinking about for a while, and thus HammerFall was born. The song “Steel Meets Steel,” which was eventually featured on HammerFall’s debut album, was previously written by Dronjak. Later, lead guitarist Niklas Sundin, bassist Johan Larsson, and singer Mikael Stanne joined Dronjak and Strömblad. The next year, Glenn Ljungström (then guitarist of In Flames) and Fredrik Larsson (basist of the old Swedish death metal band Dispatched) took over as HammerFall’s new members when Niklas Sundin and Johan Larsson resigned.
HammerFall made it to the Rockslaget semi-finals in 1996. They discovered Joacim Cans, who agreed to play with them for the evening, because Mikael Stanne was unable to perform with the band in the semifinals. Despite HammerFall’s disqualification from the finals by the judges, the show proved to be successful. Joacim was officially inducted into the band by the conclusion of that day.
