HammerFall

I have listened a bit to Hammerfall in the past.

I think what it always comes down to is that the music is so similar and simple all the time harmonically that it just gets grating for me. They're doing the power metal thing spectaculary well, and Joacim Cans is a great singer who always sounds amazing, but there's just seldom any true feelings in there. It's just metal that sounds nice all the time to me with lyrics that I have no connection to.

Sorry for ranting about people's favourite band, they're catchy and all that, but not for me. It's actually funny that I adore glam metal at the same time. It's all pop metal.

Favourite song is probably "Shadow Empire" off Treshold. The beginning of those verses are brilliant.
 

HammerFall started their new album tour:

The setlist is only 14 songs (probably because they are support of Helloween).

They played 3 songs from the new album - ''Brotherhood'', ''Hammer Of Dawn'' and ''Venerate Me''.

The surprises are ''The Metal Age'' (forgotten great song from their debut album) and maybe ''Glory To The Brave''.

Crimson Thunder medley is ''Hero's Return''/''Riders Of The Storm''/''Crimson Thunder''.

The stage set is cool - big shield & hammer!
