I was watching interview with Joacim where he said he wrote lyrics and now they are all waiting lazy Oscar to write music. He, he...

You have a link to that interview?

Of course they're waiting for Oscar... He has to finish all these games he started to play while Joacim was writing the lyrics...

I want this album containing so much lyrics about steel, swords and metal and such, that I have to hide for flying fridge magnets when I enter the house with my copy of the album.

Another one EPIC album is coming!!

Absolutely, I agree. If you mean by something like Legacy Of Kings for example.

OMG!!! VIDEO BLOG FROM JOACIM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

*Fanboy wants teh album NOW*

I think that in this video, Joacim looks a little bit funny (probably because he was making it by himself and quite unprofessionally)

No bad thoughts, though, he's always cute!

NEWS! NEWS! NEWS!!!!

new album info revealed
Nov 12, 2010
In just two weeks, Sweden's most successful Heavy Metal band HAMMERFALL will enter the studio to record the follow up to their gold album "No Sacrifice, No Victory". The songwriting is almost finished, and guitarist Oscar Dronjak reveals: "The new material contains a lot of fresh ways to look at the musical ideas, we're trying to preserve the essence of what HammerFall is while at the same time updating the execution and approach. Definitely heavier and less straight forward than the previous albums, yet remaining true to what we believe heavy metal is all about."

Expect the unexpected! The quintet also decided to work with a new producer, which is significant since the last four albums have been produced by Charlie Bauerfeind. The choice fell on James Michael, who recently worked with MÖTLEY CRÜE, SCORPIONS, MEAT LOAF and others. James Michael comments: “We are about to make a fantastic album. The band is firing on all cylinders and I am excited to be part of this project."

Oscar Dronjak explains: "Working with James Michael is going to be very, very exciting. The two Mötley Crüe album James has been involved in (songwriter on "New Tattoo" and songwriter/producer on "Saints Of Los Angeles") are great, and easily stack up against the classic albums of the 80's. That, and the fact that HammerFall have used the same producer (Charlie Bauerfeind) since 2002 has me very psyched about this collaboration, it will automatically bring a freshness to the proceedings! A lot of what HF was got refined when we started working with Charlie, and I'm sure we'll get a similar kind of reaction here. Sort of like a kick in the ass, to get going in the right direction.”

Vocalist Joacim Cans adds another important aspect: "I see James Michael as one of my favorite singers of today and his work with SIXX:AM is simply fantastic. Not only is the album one of the best ever made production-wise, but James also delivers a vocal performance that most singers today are not capable of. James will be the perfect co-producer for us and I really think he will be able to get me up a notch in the vocal department"

The yet untitled record will be released in Europe on May 20th.
