HAMMERFALL: No matter how much everything changes in culture and the world at large, heavy metal endures. It empowers, engages, and engenders strength, ultimately it outlasts fads. The same can be said for HAMMERFALL. Since forming in Gothenburg, Sweden in 1993, the now quintet of Oscar Dronjak [guitar], Joacim Cans [vocals], Fredrik Larsson [bass], Pontus Norgen [guitar], and David Wallin [drums] have weathered the many storms of changing trends within the music world to stand tall as pioneers who continue to wave the flag of Heavy Metal. In HAMMERFALL’s thirty-year career, the Swedish titans have topped album charts both in their home country as well as internationally, sold out tours, exceeded over 100 million streams and 100 million YouTube views and over 1.5 million albums sold, all while earning multiple Grammy nominations in Sweden, continuing to uphold this venerable legacy with each new release. Having returned to their label home Nuclear Blast in late 2022, HAMMERFALL celebrated a career milestone when it was announced that Renegade, Crimson Thunder, No Sacrifice, No Victory and Chapter V: Unbent, Unbowed, Unbroken had all achieved gold status in Sweden. And stoking the flames higher – it was revealed that Crimson Thunder had surpassed 60,000 sales and hit Platinum status. In 2023 the band celebrate the success of Crimson Thunder achieving Platinum status in Sweden, continuing their retrospective series, HAMMERFALL will be releasing its very own 20-Year Anniversary edition. The fourth studio album has been remixed and remastered by Fredrik Nordstrom, this definitive version will include previously unreleased pre-production tracks a brand-new medley and live acoustic songs.EVERGREY: From Gothenburg, Sweden’s melodic core, Evergrey formed in 1995 as heavy metal’s electrifying force. Led by singer and guitarist Tom S. Englund, they craft stories of the human psyche, inner darkness, and healing through music that resonates deeply. Evergrey stands out with subtle innovation—they ignore fads to build tracks that mix sharp riffs, symphonic waves, and Englund’s raw, moving voice.
ELVENKING: Elvenking is an Italian power metal/folk metal band from Sacile – Forging a potent magic stronger than ever by evoking the essence of heavy metal, pagan metal, folk and melodic death metal, Elvenking sets sail to horizons more distant than ever before, boldly taking the world by storm with their quintessentially unique approach to heavy, powerful music.
