HAMMERFALL

Release Year: 2016
Artist Origin: SWE
Style: massive epic thunderous heavy metal

two decades after the recording of debut longplay, preparing for the jubilee tenth full-length opus, the templars of epic heavy metal switch the label for the first time in their career, but music of ten expressive and impetuous cuts is well familiar and akin to the tradition even more so than on some previous releases: much emphasis is put on catchy sing-along choruses with bombastic, grandiose arrangements, periodically dramatized by effective and addictive guitar licks and heroic soloing, where each song purposefully serves the overall idea and reinforces the cohesion of music, fulfilling all secret dreams of devoted, uncompromising heavy metal fans with such standout tracks as Hammer High or The Star of Home
