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.
Today, the band are proud to release their Crimson Thunder – 20-Year Anniversary Edition. The fourth studio album has been remixed and remastered by Fredrik Nordstrom, and this definitive version includes previously unreleased pre-production tracks, a brand-new medley and live acoustic songs.
To celebrate the release, the band presents us with a brand-new video for the medley.
Guitarist Oscar Dronjak comments: “The medley is a five minute celebration of the full album, with parts from well-known as well as never-before-played tracks, and is a highlight for both artist and audience every night.”
