“Sweden Rock Festival is like a second home to us, and we are stoked to present you the video for ‘(We Make) Sweden Rock’ filmed at the festival. It was nothing short of amazing to once again – for the seventh time! – perform on stage at Sweden’s biggest recurring festival period. We loved seeing the massive crowd and the fans’ engagement and involvement made this night into something truly, truly special. Together with everyone there, we made Sweden Rock rock.”

Hammerfall Premiere “(We Make) Sweden Rock” Lyric Video

Posted by caemanamelio on

Hammerfall have premiered a lyric video for their new song “(We Make) Sweden Rock.” This track is from the band’s new album “Dominion,” which will be released on August 16.

Vocalist Joacim Cans commented:

“The lyrical content is direct referrals to songs and bands hailing from the north. In the lyric video we took everything a step further and included photos, not only from bands referred to in the lyrics, but from loads of other Swedish bands. It’s kind of a history lesson in Swedish Hard Rock & Metal.”

Guitarist Oscar Dronjak added:

“The song is a tribute to the Swedish hard rock/heavy metal wonders that have swept the world for the past five decades. Bands from Sweden are tremendously well respected everywhere and we want to shine a light on everyone who helped create this.”

Hammerfall Premiere New Song “(We Make) Sweden Rock”, Reveal Details For New Album “Dominion”

Posted by caemanamelio on

Hammerfall have premiered a new song titled “(We Make) Sweden Rock.” This track is from the band’s new album “Dominion,” which will be released on August 16.

Vocalist Joacim Cans said the following about the song:

“This is a glorious tribute to the Swedish hard rock and metal movement with a lyrical theme using direct references to both other bands and songs. With catchy contagious riffs and enchanting (ear-worm) melodies, this song will be an instant classic at future Hammerfall shows. Without the Swedish rock and metal scene with bands like Heavy Load, At The Gates and Yngwie Malmsteen, the world would be a pretty boring and dull place! This is our noble tribute to all the bands that inspired not only us to play metal, form bands and eventually crusading around the world in the name of heavy metal. All hail the sons of the northern light!”

Guitarist Oscar Dronjak also added the following about the album:

“‘Good is not good enough; it has to be great.’ This is the mantra we have applied to every aspect of making this album, from the songwriting and rehearsals to the production and the performance of each member. The result is ‘Dominion’, a powerful force of nature that cannot be stopped. Once you hear it, you will understand.”
