Formed in Goteborg, Sweden, in 1993 by guitarist
Oscar Dronjak. Early line-ups included members
from In Flames and Dark Tranquillity, most notably
Jesper Stromblad, 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.

The line-up was now complete with drummer Anders
Johansson, formerly of Rising Force fame, Stefan
Elmgren on guitar and Magnus Rosen on bass guitar.
The latter two joined HF before the release of the
inaugural record, with Stefan even being a session
player on "Glory To The Brave".
" Crimson Thunder" (2002) was next, followed by a
live album and DVD - "One Crimson Night" (2003) -
recorded in their home town in front of a capacity
crowd. The fifth album, aptly titled "Chapter V:
Unbent, Unbowed, Unbroken" (2005) further planted
the name HammerFall in the minds of households in
Sweden, as well as metal fans all over the world.
The band's fourth world tour on as many albums was
an even bigger success than before, headlining the
U.S. for the first time (after supporting Death
and Dio in 1998 and 2002 respectively).

Two sportsrelated videos were recorded in 2006, a
remake of "Hearts On Fire" for the Swedish Olympic
Women's Curling Team and a brand new song
specifically written for Kajsa Bergqvist and a
couple of other Swedish track & field superstars,
culminating in a performance at the opening
ceremony at the European Athletics Championships
in August, bringing HammerFall into the home of
250 million people around the world. Threshold
(2006) saw the light of day at the end of the
year, and virtually the entire 2007 was spent on
the road promoting it.

Magnus Rosen left the band in March. Without
skipping a beat, original basist Fredrik Larsson
was brought back into the fold, elevating the
musical side with his steady brilliance.
Celebrating its ten year anniversary as a
record-releasing artist, HammerFall released
"Steel Meets Steel - Ten Years of Glory" (2007).
The album features two brand new tracks, a
re-recording of an old classic plus some bonus
material for the true fans.

Surprising to all, Stefan got a job as an airline
pilot in the spring of 2008, and after careful
consideration decided to pursue that dream
instead. Pontus Norgren of The Poodles fame
replaced Stefan and made his on stage debut with
the band at the Heavy MTL Festival in Montreal,
Canada.

Sometimes hailed as the leaders of the new heavy
metal movement, "the new and improved" HF is
currently finished working on a new studio album
No Sacrifice, No Victory will be released on
February 20, 2009. The cover was made by Sam
Didier and Thomas Ewerhard did all the layout of
the record, which was produced, mixed and mastered
by Charlie Bauerfeind

The European Tour kicks off February 26th and the
band is also confirmed to play Wacken Open Air
2009!
