05-07-2024
Swedish power metallers HAMMERFALL have released “Freedom”, the third single from their upcoming album, “Avenge The Fallen”, which is due on August 9 via Nuclear Blast Records.
Watch “Freedom” below.
When it comes to the main focus of the album, frontman Joacim Cans mentions “freedom” and the urge to let anyone be who they want to be. It’s represented in the album’s cover, where the bands faithful warrior Hector choses to walk his own path, despite what others tell him to do. Much like HAMMERFALL have and always will do.
Watch the previously released “The End Justifies” and ´Hail To The King´ below.
About the album:
“This is our 13th album”, Joacim Cans says with pride. “How do you still stay relevant after 13 albums? It’s very much like the opening line to the song ´Avenge The Fallen´: “What is the worst, be the one who died, or be the one who survived.”
Think about it, because it is a tough question”.
He continues, “Do we want to be a band who releases new music just for the sole reason of getting out on the road again or do we want to keep pushing and challenging ourselves? In times where people have less and less attention span, we still think in the form of full length albums. A few good songs don’t make a strong album. A strong album comes from an album full a great songs and that’s what we’re delivering with Avenge The Fallen.”
