HAMMERFALL Guitarist: 'We're Not Making Any Excuses For What We Are'

August 11, 2005

HAMMERFALL guitarist Oscar Dronjak has posted the following message on the group's official web site:

"ACCEPT at Wacken was the best fucking show I have seen all year! Absolutely awesome and unforgettable for someone who thought they'd never appear on the same stage together again. Thank you! HAMMERFALL played right before the Metal Masters, and the sight from the stage was breathtaking! So many people, so many arms, so many voices, unbelievable! Fans as far as the eye could see, and far out on both sides of the stage, I reckon this might have been the largest audience we have ever played before. Whatever the case may be, it sure was a fantastic closing to the festival summer for us.

"I'm in my hotel room in Toronto writing this, as the North American adventure begins with a show at the Opera House tonight. We arrived yesterday afternoon. Both EDGUY and HAMMERFALL are very excited about this three-and-a-half-week tour. They, because they’ve never been on the road in the U.S. before, and we, because this will be our first headline outing here. And, of course, both bands, because we always have fun together. Last time we went touring together was when we traveled across Europe on the Templar World Crusade in the spring of 1999. Now, six years later and more experienced in creating havoc, I'm sure we will have an absolute blast together. Check out the tour dates section for details on where you can catch us on the road in this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to enjoy the world of metal and melodies from two bands that definitely know what they are doing. If you don't like it, it's your loss. We're not making any excuses for what we are, and we never will. But if you are like us, I assure you you will have a terrific evening. You want some, come get some! Word life."

HAMMERFALL's latest album, "Chapter V: Unbent, Unbowed, Unbroken", was released in March via Nuclear Blast Records The follow-up to 2002's "Crimson Thunder" was produced and mixed by Charlie Bauernfeind (BLIND GUARDIAN, HELLOWEEN).
