Û Formed in Goteborg, Sweden, in 1993 by guitarist Û

Û Oscar Dronjak. Early line-ups included members Û

Û from In Flames and Dark Tranquillity, most notably Û

Û Jesper Stromblad, who continued to write songs Û

Û together with Oscar and singer Joacim Cans despite Û

Û leaving before the first album was released. Û

Û "Glory To The Brave" (1997) and "Legacy Of Kings" Û

Û (1998) cemented the band as the pioneers of modern Û

Û Eighties heavy metal. Û

Û Û

Û Often credited with bringing back the melodies and Û

Û honesty in music, the world-wide crusade continued Û

Û with "Renegade" (2000), an album that generated a Û

Û breakthrough for HammerFall and metal music in Û

Û general in the mainstream media in Sweden. Û

Û Û

Û The line-up was now complete with drummer Anders Û

Û Johansson, formerly of Rising Force fame, Stefan Û

Û Elmgren on guitar and Magnus Rosen on bass guitar. Û

Û The latter two joined HF before the release of the Û

Û inaugural record, with Stefan even being a session Û

Û player on "Glory To The Brave". Û

Û " Crimson Thunder" (2002) was next, followed by a Û

Û live album and DVD - "One Crimson Night" (2003) - Û

Û recorded in their home town in front of a capacity Û

Û crowd. The fifth album, aptly titled "Chapter V: Û

Û Unbent, Unbowed, Unbroken" (2005) further planted Û

Û the name HammerFall in the minds of households in Û

Û Sweden, as well as metal fans all over the world. Û

Û The band's fourth world tour on as many albums was Û

Û an even bigger success than before, headlining the Û

Û U.S. for the first time (after supporting Death Û

Û and Dio in 1998 and 2002 respectively). Û

Û Û

Û Two sportsrelated videos were recorded in 2006, a Û

Û remake of "Hearts On Fire" for the Swedish Olympic Û

Û Women's Curling Team and a brand new song Û

Û specifically written for Kajsa Bergqvist and a Û

Û couple of other Swedish track & field superstars, Û

Û culminating in a performance at the opening Û

Û ceremony at the European Athletics Championships Û

Û in August, bringing HammerFall into the home of Û

Û 250 million people around the world. Threshold Û

Û (2006) saw the light of day at the end of the Û

Û year, and virtually the entire 2007 was spent on Û

Û the road promoting it. Û

Û Û

Û Magnus Rosen left the band in March. Without Û

Û skipping a beat, original basist Fredrik Larsson Û

Û was brought back into the fold, elevating the Û

Û musical side with his steady brilliance. Û

Û Celebrating its ten year anniversary as a Û

Û record-releasing artist, HammerFall released Û

Û "Steel Meets Steel - Ten Years of Glory" (2007). Û

Û The album features two brand new tracks, a Û

Û re-recording of an old classic plus some bonus Û

Û material for the true fans. Û

Û Û

Û Surprising to all, Stefan got a job as an airline Û

Û pilot in the spring of 2008, and after careful Û

Û consideration decided to pursue that dream Û

Û instead. Pontus Norgren of The Poodles fame Û

Û replaced Stefan and made his on stage debut with Û

Û the band at the Heavy MTL Festival in Montreal, Û

Û Canada. Û

Û Û

Û Sometimes hailed as the leaders of the new heavy Û

Û metal movement, "the new and improved" HF is Û

Û currently finished working on a new studio album – Û

Û „No Sacrifice, No Victory“ will be released on Û

Û February 20, 2009. The cover was made by Sam Û

Û Didier and Thomas Ewerhard did all the layout of Û

Û the record, which was produced, mixed and mastered Û

Û by Charlie Bauerfeind Û

Û Û

Û The European Tour kicks off February 26th and the Û

Û band is also confirmed to play Wacken Open Air Û

Û 2009! Û
