Sweden's Hammerfall return with their first album since 2011's “Infected” and what a return it is! Track number one is the epic, uptempo “Hector's Hymn” will likely forever be in their live set. This is one of, if not the best Hammerfall track I've ever heard. This track alone will get the band booked at every one of those European festivals next year.

For those readers who've never heard Hammerfall, the best I can describe it is a mix of classic traditional metal and power metal. Think Saxon blended with Manowar. They deliver songs with big melodic choruses and lots of warrior testosterone. This can be heard on many of the songs including two other stand-out tracks “Bushido” & “Live Life Loud”.

I felt the first half of the album was stronger than the second, but Hammerfall have certainly come back with a solid release. Battle on!

(r)Evolution - called “the essence of HAMMERFALL at its very purist” by guitarist, songwriter and founding member Oscar Dronjak - is due out in the UK on the 1st of September.  The album was produced by Fredrik Nordström (DIMMU BORGIR, SOILWORK, OPETH), who also helped produce the first two HAMMERFALL albums, 1997’s Glory To The Brave and 1998’s Legacy Of Kings.
