HAMMERFALL Guitarist Interviewed In Zagreb (Video)

December 29, 2011

Guitarist Oscar Dronjak of Swedish melodic metallers HAMMERFALL was interviewed by Ivana Prica, editor of the Croatian Metal And Rock site, when the band performed in Zagreb, Croatia on December 2, 2011 as part of the "European Outbreak 2011" tour with VICIOUS RUMORS, AMARANTHE and DEATHDESTRUCTION. You can now watch the chat below.

HAMMERFALL's new album, "Infected", sold around 1,700 copies in the United States in its first week of release. The CD debuted at No. 16 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.

HAMMERFALL's previous CD, "No Sacrifice, No Victory", opened with 1,400 units to land at No. 38 on the Top New Artist Albums chart.

"Infected" entered the official chart in Sweden at position No. 2 (right behind LADY GAGA!). The CD was released in Europe on May 20 and was made available in North America on June 7 via Nuclear Blast Records. Laying down the foundation themselves in their own studio in Sweden, the members of HAMMERFALL then traveled to Nashville, Tennessee to finish it up with acclaimed producer James Michael (MÖTLEY CRÜE, SCORPIONS, MEAT LOAF). He also mixed the album, giving it a decisive updated edge without losing any of the essence of the band's sound.

HAMMERFALL is among the five final nominees that are competing for the "Best Hard Rock/Metal" honor at the Swedish Grammis awards (Swedish Grammy equivalent),which will be held February 14, 2010 at Kungliga Operan in Stockholm.
