Hammerfall - One More Time


As promised, I'll start going through the week's concerts, we start with last weekend when Hammerfall visited Stockholm for a gig. HammerFall is a power metal band from Gothenburg, Sweden. The band was formed in 1993 by ex-Ceremonial Oath guitarist Oscar Dronjak.


HammerFall are out on their "European Outbreak 2011" tour with the classic metal band Vicous Rumors, the New Hard Rock sensation Amaranth and hyped newcomers Death Destruction.

Swedish productions are usually very fun to do, given that you know almost everyone and everything usually goes smoothly, without fuss or confusion which this evening was. Met among others Tony who worked as Stage Manager on this tour, a nice guy who is always fun to meet, even Merch Linda was there.

Vicious Rumors is a bunch of really cool guys, where the singer is a bit crazy, which basically tried to hang himself in the microphone stand and headbanging in the monitors so almost the blood flowed, crowd surfing, etc, ran into him backstage after their gig and he saw little tattered out with a big bruise in the forehead and was limping, but he was as happy as before the show.

Hammerfall did a really good gig, good speed, tight and well played, In addition had their fun, which makes a large part of show to be successful. Unfortunately, I did not see the other bands play.

Here is some pictures from the show.









Todays tune "One More Time" is a song by HammerFall and was released as the promo for their new album Infected. Two versions was released, the first featured a live recording of "Hallowed be My Name" and a instrumental version of the title track. Later a second version was released featured "Lore of the Arcane/Trailblazers" live and a newly recorded version of "Blood Bound". It was written by Vocalist Joacim Cans and Guitarist Oscar Dronjak.



The music video was recorded for the song and was directed by Swedish director Patrick Ullaeus. Along with the album it deals with a Zombie Infection. It features a storyline with the band performing in a studio when they are attacked by Zombies. At first the band fights them but later they escape. The Zombies are played by fans of the band. At the end it says "To be Continued" which implies that the story is not over.
