HammerFall have premiered a new video for their new song “Hail To The King.” This track is from the band’s new album “Avenge The Fallen,” which will be released on August 9.
Guitarist Oscar Dronjak said the following about the song:
“I began working on ‘Hail To The King’ while on tour in the U.S. with Helloween. By the end of the tour, I was getting close to wrapping the song up, so straight after the Los Angeles gig, I headed to the bus where I worked like a mad man to get the last pieces together. That turned out to be the show where one of my favorite wrestlers, Chris Jericho, came to visit. It was also the show where Fredrik met his idol Frank Bello from Anthrax and Joacim met Jay Ruston, producer for Armored Saint, Avatar, Anthrax, Corey Taylor and more and whom after this meeting agreed to produce the vocals for ‘Avenge The Fallen’. I missed all that, but I at least got a great song out of it, haha!”
Singer Joacim Cans added the following about the album:
“This is our 13th album. 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.
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 of great songs and that’s what we’re delivering with ‘Avenge The Fallen.’”
