HAMMERFALL: Photo Of New Lineup Posted Online

May 16, 2007

Swedish melodic metallers HAMMERFALL have posted the first photo of their revamped lineup — featuring new bassist Fredrik Larsson — at this location.

Lead singer Joacim Cans previously said, "Fredrik recorded 'Glory to the Brave' with us, so he's definitely a part of the family. It's great to have him back!"

Larsson had the following to say about rejoining the band: "I am very happy and excited to be back! I have known the guys for more than ten years and we have kept in touch all the time, so it is not as if I come in a complete stranger. We played a few songs together [when I first rejoined the group], and it felt like 1997 was just a couple of weeks ago."

The new HAMMERFALL lineup will make its live debut on May 25 at the Rock Hard Festival in Germany.

As previously reported, HAMMERFALL has set "Steel Meets Steel - Ten Years of Glory" as the title of its upcoming "best-of" collection, due on October 12 via Nuclear Blast Records. The CD will include around 25 classic HAMMERFALL tracks along with three new songs which are currently being recorded at Mi Sueno studios in Tenerife, Spain: "Last Man Standing", "Restless Soul" and "HammerFall v1.07".

Commented the band: "We're celebrating our ten-year anniversary as a record-releasing band in 2007, remember? We spent seven weeks or so here five years ago, recording 'Crimson Thunder', and a fortnight for the mix of 'Chapter V: Unbent, Unbowed, Unbroken', so it was a great pleasure to once again walk into the arms and home of the Deris [Andi Deris; HELLOWEEN vocalist] family."

You can follow HAMMERFALL's progress online at this location.
