HAMMERFALL Destroys Vienna Hotel Room; Photos Available

April 15, 2009

Peter Vinthagen Simpson of The Local reports that Swedish metallers HAMMERFALL have admitted to smashing up a Vienna hotel room on their European tour.

"We are ashamed," confirmed the Gothenburg band's drummer Anders Johansson, according to a report in the newspaper Expressen.

The band was partying at the Hotel Fürstenhof in the Austrian capital Vienna when things got a little out of hand.

Johansson admitted that a large quantity of beer had been consumed when he and guitarist Oscar Dronjak decided to show off some of their taekwondo moves on the hotel's furniture.

Dronjak reportedly injured himself when he tried to headbutt an offending inanimate object in the hotel room.

"His head now looks awful. We are hoping he will be able to cover it up. In Prague (this evening) the show is going to be recorded. He is very ashamed at the moment," Anders Johansson said.

"No Sacrifice, No Victory", the new album from HAMMERFALL, sold around 1,400 copies in the United States in its first week of release, according to Nielsen SoundScan. The CD debuted at No. 38 on the Top New Artist Albums (Heatseekers) chart, which lists the best-selling albums by new and developing artists, defined as those who have never appeared in the Top 100 of The Billboard 200.
