Hammerfall’s new album “No Sacrifice, No Victory” has hit number 21 in the UK Top 50 Indie chart! The news comes off the back of a sold-out show last night at London’s 02 Academy Islington.
In addition to the new masterpiece “No Sacrifice, No Victory” (digital album contains booklet + bonus video exclusively on iTunes!) Nuclear Blast offers the Hammerfall back catalogue for mid price throughout March! So, if you don’t have one of the below albums yet, better grab it NOW!!
Formed in Göteborg, Sweden, in 1993 by guitarist Oscar Dronjak. Early line-ups included members from In Flames and Dark Tranquillity, most notably Jesper Strömblad, who continued to write songs together with Oscar and singer Joacim Cans despite leaving before the first album was released. "Glory To The Brave" (1997) and "Legacy Of Kings" (1998) cemented the band as the pioneers of modern Eighties heavy metal.
Often credited with bringing back the melodies and honesty in music, the world-wide crusade continued with "Renegade" (2000), an album that generated a breakthrough for HammerFall and metal music in general in the mainstream media in Sweden.
The European Tour kicked off February 26th and the band is also confirmed to play Wacken Open Air 2009!
