HAMMERFALL Bassist To Collaborate With Swedish Orchestra

October 19, 2005

HAMMERFALL bassist Magnus Rosén will collaborate with the Gothenburg Symphonic Orchestra (the national orchestra of Sweden) under the "Respekt" banner (Swedish for "Respect"). In September 2006, about 15 concerts will be performed at the Concert Hall in Gothenburg, Sweden. The occasion will mark the first time a rock bassist has performed with the 108 men and women of the symphonic orchestra.

In addition to recording and touring with HAMMERFALL, Magnus Rosén has made a name for himself though his strong commitment to social causes, including charity tours in South America and performances in various churches.

Commented Magnus: "Considering that our society is made up of people with a wide range of physical characteristics, opinions and ethnic backgrounds, we must see the advantages of our differences. With this collaboration we wish to show our youth the importance of respect, ethics and morality."

More information regarding this unique project will be revelaed during 2006.

Magnus Rosén will join his HAMMERFALL bandmates on a European tour beginning on October 25.
