Swedish melodic metallers HAMMERFALL will return to North America for a full tour in March/April 2010. This will be the band’s first tour of U.S./Canada in almost five years.
Formed in Gteborg, Sweden, in 1993 by guitarist Oscar Dronjak. Early line-ups included members from In Flames and Dark Tranquillity, most notably Jesper Strmblad, who continued to write songs together with Oscar and singer Joacim Cans despite leaving before the first album was released. “Glory To The Brave” (1997) and “Legacy Of Kings” (1998) cemented the band as the pioneers of modern Eighties heavy metal.
Often credited with bringing back the melodies and honesty in music, the world-wide crusade continued with “Renegade” (2000), an album that generated a breakthrough for HAMMERFALL and metal music in general in the mainstream media in Sweden.
Sometimes hailed as the leaders of the new heavy metal movement, “the new and improved” HAMMERFALL recently released their seventh studio album No Sacrifice, No Victory.
