This new musical piece is in the purest continuity of what the band has built since 1997. While many tracks on "Avenge The Fallen" were created on the road, there are also album tracks based on ideas born over 20 years ago. A cavalcade of riffs, a warrior chorus tailor-made for the stage, HAMMERFALL braves time and remains faithful to its genre and influences. This 13th album, more epic than ever from the Swedes, marks the course of a new surge.Still at the peak of their natural form after an extremely successful two-year tour with German metal veterans Helloween under the banner of the "United Forces" tour, which took both bands together all over the world, the award-winning Swedes HammerFall are back to avenge the fallen!Singer Joacim Cans comments on this new record: "This is our 13th album. How do you stay relevant after 13 albums? It's a bit like the lyrics of the first track 'Avenge The Fallen': 'What is worse, being the one who is dead, or being the one who survived?' Think about it, because it's a tough question."He adds: "Do we want to be a band that releases new music solely for the purpose of going back on tour, or do we want to continue to challenge ourselves? In an era where people are losing their attention, we continue to work on albums worthy of the name. A few good songs do not make a good album. A good album must be filled with great compositions, and that's what we offer with 'Avenge The Fallen'."The album's music was recorded in Sweden by HammerFall guitarist Pontus and mixed by Fredrik Nordstrom at Studio Fredman, once again creating an authentic and genuine HammerFall sound that fans love.
