Hammerfall Begin Recording New Album

HAMMERFALL guitarist Oscar Dronjak offers a quick news flash from across the Atlantic:

"We just began the process of recording our sixth full length album this week, and while it's still very early - two months - until we get the final mix, I have a great feeling about this. The drum sound is very heavy and powerful, fitting for the songs we have written."

Working titles for several of the new songs include: "Dark Wings, Dark Words," "Carved In Stone," "Titan," "Shadow Empire," "Threshold," and "Rebel Inside."

HAMMERFALL are expected to enter Lundgård Studios in Denmark ("a remote, beautiful countryside location that allows us to concentrate on metal goods and not get distracted by surrounding things or people," according to Dronjak) with producer Charlie Bauerfeind this summer. A studio journal will be kept on their MySpace page.

HAMMERFALL will be delivering a special performance at this year's Earthshaker Fest scheduled for July 21-22 in Kreuth, Germany.
