And we already know how it\u2019ll end: with voices raised and fists in the air. This band plays power metal the way it\u2019s meant to be played: big, clear, melodic\u2014with choruses that turn the entire infield into a choir.  <\/p>\n<p>Formed in 1993 in Gothenburg, these Swedes have been among the defining acts of their genre for decades. Galloping riffs, two-part leads, crystal-clear hooklines\u2014and that catchiness that nails the chorus in your head before your voice is even warmed up. Add to that a guitar sound that doesn\u2019t just sound great\u2014it really drives the music forward. And that\u2019s exactly what creates that familiar festival vibe: HAMMERFALL are right where you want them to be when they play live. No detours, no filler\u2014just anthems that hit the spot.    <\/p>\n<p>Musically, it\u2019s one thing above all else: craftsmanship with hooks. HAMMERFALL writes songs built on tempo and melody without losing their edge. The two-part guitar lines are spot-on, the choruses are spot-on, the timing is spot-on\u2014and the solos aren\u2019t an end in themselves, but part of a narrative that carries you from the first verse to the final chorus. That\u2019s exactly why so much of it sticks with you: because every track is a polished, spot-on hit.   <\/p>\n<p>And when they launch into \u201cHearts on Fire,\u201d it finally becomes clear why HAMMERFALL works so dangerously well at festivals: Because everything here is built around the audience singing along\u2014and yet still has enough energy to get the front row moving.<\/p>\n<p>On top of that, there\u2019s their own HAMMERFALL universe, which they\u2019re consistently expanding\u2014including Hector, the Templar mascot who\u2019s been a fixture on the album covers and in the band\u2019s lore for years.<\/p>\n<p>This is heavy metal with a distinctive sound, played with heart and that special energy that\u2019s instantly contagious.<\/p>\n<p>Reload for the first time. Warm up your voices, raise your fists! And then it won&#8217;t just be your hearts that are on fire\u2014it&#8217;ll be the whole infield.  <\/p>\n\t\t\n<style>\n#text-4151624494 {\n  font-size: 1.25rem;\n  line-height: 1.35;\n  text-align: left;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n<div class=\"social-icons follow-icons artist-single-social-icons\" style=\"font-size:147%\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/hammerfall\" target=\"_blank\" data-label=\"Facebook\" class=\"icon button circle is-outline tooltip facebook\" title=\"Follow on Facebook\" aria-label=\"Follow on Facebook\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\"><i class=\"icon-facebook\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/hammerfall_official\" target=\"_blank\" data-label=\"Instagram\" class=\"icon button circle is-outline tooltip instagram\" title=\"Follow on Instagram\" aria-label=\"Follow on Instagram\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\"><i class=\"icon-instagram\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/hammerfall.net\/\" data-label=\"Website\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"icon button circle is-outline tooltip website tooltip\" title=\"Follow on Website\" aria-label=\"Follow on Website\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\"><i class=\"icon-website\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n\n<a href=\"https:\/\/reload-festival.de\/en\/bands\" class=\"button primary is-xxlarge artist-single-all-bands-btn show-for-small\" style=\"padding:3px 25px 0px 25px;\">\n\t<i class=\"icon-angle-left\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>\t<span>All bands<\/span>\n\t<\/a>\n\n\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n<\/div>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\n<style>\n#section_1443166346 {\n  padding-top: 0px;\n  padding-bottom: 0px;\n  margin-bottom: 0px;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/section>\n\t\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":9114,"parent":6448,"menu_order":9,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-9118","page","type-page","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/reload-festival.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/9118","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/reload-festival.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/reload-festival.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/reload-festival.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/reload-festival.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=9118"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/reload-festival.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/9118\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":9462,"href":"https:\/\/reload-festival.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/9118\/revisions\/9462"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/reload-festival.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/6448"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/reload-festival.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/9114"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/reload-festival.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9118"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
