Nothing like the sound of power metal in the morning after a long night at work. The kids are in school, the wife's at work, and I'm jamming Hammerfall.
I just don't get it. This song is the complete personification of Hammerfall. It's straight up old school metal, double bass, shredding, sweet ass inspirational chorus. Not only that, but the video is a super throw back to all their old stuff. AND IT'S ABOUT HECTOR! Like, this is the goddamn complete package. When people say they are disappointed but then go on to say they like Hammerfall. I just can't wrap my head around that.
Saw this band May 19th in Atlanta this year and they were amazing. I got to score two of Oscar's picks and my boyfriend and I caught a drumstick together. Best night ever
I love how the video references every cover art of their albums with Hector. Actually, I love the entire band, the entire music genre, its fans, y'all are awesome!
HOLY. FUCK. That's i'm talking about!!!!! I'm so glad to see one of my favorite bands going back to the roots. This is so Legacy of Kings, epic lyrics about the mighty Hector, the melody have such a power! Hammer high!!! to the sky!!!!! 11/10
I just can't believe it ... it feels like it's 1998 again ... And I mean that in the best way possible! This is Hammerfall that we all love and that's what we all wanted from them! This sounds soooo much like Legacy Of Kings it's just incredible! I'm gonna listen the FUCK out of this album! HAMMERFALL FOREVER!!!!! The Templars of Steel are back!!!
HammerFall, the gateway drug to European metal for me, which helped save me from burnout in the genre. I will always be grateful to this group! Hammers high men!
Cant wait to see Hammerfall in September! I hope I can get a meet and greet with these guys, I LOVE THEM! I love the faces Pontus makes! Him and Oscar are some of the best guitarists in Power Metal to me!
Music production in Sweden is huge, and i think metal just happened to come along with it, in all genres. You could, and can get your hands on equipment to play with quite easy, as well as studios to play in. Other than that i guess music in general is just something that came easy and became a thing in Sweden at least, the same way other countries might be really good automobile producers like Germany, or innovative technology like Japan.
We are born with it, its already in our blood! And it helps to have a country that doesn't Hate on you for loving death metal as a five year old kid.. Otherwise i think its the darkness and cold half of the year that makes good music
Because in Sweden the high taxes makes it possible for the state to fund cheap rehersal places and studios, also bands can get public funding for distributing their products and paid tours. etc. High taxes =
Ahh, thank you for your unique perspectives! Unfortunately here in the US there are many that will vehemently oppose any tax money for the arts, especially if it's for "devil music" such as heavy metal. At any rate, thank you from the many of us here that appreciate your work!
Hello, his voice is indeed the top, undisputed, the greatest in metal. Check out No, phenomelal female Singer and the guys from Battle Beast. All the best.
Shame on me. I've never heard about this band until 1 week ago..... Now i'm totally addicted to ''Hector's Hymn'', ''Glory To The Brave'' and ''At The End of The Rainbow''. Great band ;)
It is just not fair to other performers how good Joacim sings. Absolutely majestic voice and way of singing for more than 20 years now. Greetings from Bulgaria, Hammerfall! Just to make sure I am understood - I have been listening to HammerFall since 2004. I've been adoring them since back then.
I pre-order this álbum. HAMMERFALL are back with a vengeance. I am very happy. Its just great that the band that brought traditional heavy metal back in the picture -made it famous again- and took it out of the underground, are back to stay. All the respect to them, they are true metal heads.
I saw these guys live, recently, and listening to them again I'm impressed at how much better they sound live vs studio. Cheers for their amazing quality!
I rose from the ashes, the remains of a time set aside The warrior of Eden, found by honor, these two words collide On and on and on, with glory he came, he saw, he conquered He gathered his armies, true he leads his Templars of steel They sought out the dragon, made the enemy bleed, made them kneel On and on and on, a legend unbent, unbowed, unbroken On and on and on, a story us born, a legacy reborn! Hammer high to the sky Follow the warrior and the king Call of Hector's Hymn Hammer high, amplify Hail to the warrior! Call of Hector's Hymn Along came the thunder and the hero was set to return We're haunted by fire, our spirit is now set to burn On and on and on, the fire and the flame will burn forever Still guarded by Templars, all the secrets of steel will remain Cause we are the keepers, and for us this is real, not a game On and on and on, we follow this need, we came, we conquered On and on and on, together we fight, together we will fall Hammer high to the sky Follow the warrior and the king Call of Hector's Hymn Hammer high, amplify Hail to the warrior!

Si alguien tenía dudas sobre el "estado de salud" de HammerFall... Bueno, queda claro que están sanitos y rockeando, esta canción es puesta en un disco clásico y muy pocos notarían que es del "(r)Evolution".
@@silverbladeofnorth7345 Its like you are calling Accept or Judas Priest for Power Metal aswell.. no They are Heavy Metal.. HammerFall do not belong in the Power Metal genre.

Awesome music? Yes please! Cheesy CGI? I don't mind, I'm here for the music. Does it remind me of WoW? hell yes, they even got a village named after them in the game. And yes, the album art was done by Samwise Didier, art director in Blizzard... so it's no coincidence..

I've been a Hammerfall fan since I was 14. Over ten years. This is such a breath of fresh air. It's so good. Thanks Hammerfall.
Everytime I listen to this Awesome Song I got goosebumps.
Hammerfall is one of the Greatest Metal Bands of all time.
HAMMER HIGH UNTIL WE DIE
That voice...THIS is power metal, people.
You have no idea what you are talking about. Go and learn what Power Metal is..
Hell yeah power metal is mighty I don't what it is it's powering i feel like am going to go to battle 🤘

This is such a gorgeous song. Fell back in love with Hammerfall first time I heard it.

I love every Hammerfall album. They hold the power metal genre up high as always!
HOLY. FUCK. That's i'm talking about!!!!!
I'm so glad to see one of my favorite bands going back to the roots. This is so Legacy of Kings, epic lyrics about the mighty Hector, the melody have such a power!
Hammer high!!! to the sky!!!!!

André Nicolas Reis MIGHTY MJONIOR!
As a fan from the old days, I still liked "Infected" but this here is SO much better. Now THAT is the mighty Hammerfall I grew up with!
His voice is so beautiful
Had the privilege of meeting and seeing these guys perform at a small bar in Dallas just a few weeks back with Delain. Fucking hell of a good time.
I just can't believe it ... it feels like it's 1998 again ... And I mean that in the best way possible! This is Hammerfall that we all love and that's what we all wanted from them!

I havent heard music like this in a long time. brings me back to my high school days.

HammerFall, the gateway drug to European metal for me, which helped save me from burnout in the genre. I will always be grateful to this group!
Hammers high men!
European metal truly is the best. But my gateway was a combination of Powerwolf and Beast in Black
@@hybrid5860 For me it started with Sabaton only then came Powerwolf and Beast in Black
yes
Cant wait to see Hammerfall in September! I hope I can get a meet and greet with these guys, I LOVE THEM! I love the faces Pontus makes! Him and Oscar are some of the best guitarists in Power Metal to me!
What is it about the Scandinavian/Nordic countries that they produce so many awesome metal (esp. power metal) bands?

Excelente banda, de las más representativas de power metal a nivel mundial y mi banda favorita, saludos desde México gloria al power metal
LET THE HAMMER FALL
This is the best vocal in the world😍 I love Joacim's voice
Hello, his voice is indeed the top, undisputed, the greatest in metal. Check out No, phenomelal female Singer and the guys from Battle Beast. All the best.
I find it epic how they worked the album art into this video.
And the stories from the albums and songs.
I remember hearing my older brothers Hammerfall album with that song The Dragon Lies Bleeding and I've been a fan ever since.
Not the warrior you heathens, the WARLORD. The chosen one who caries BURN's Hammer. Pray it never falls.
I saw them live last Friday night here in Kalmar, Sweden! The best night of my life! Thank you Hammerfall!
This is the old Hammerfall, great song.!!!!!
One of the best power metal bands
Shame on me. I've never heard about this band until 1 week ago..... Now i'm totally addicted to ''Hector's Hymn'', ''Glory To The Brave'' and ''At The End of The Rainbow''. Great band ;)

Damn this is some powerful stuff!!!!!!!! I'm really diggin' this tune! This band rocks, and I've always admired Anders Johansson drumming.
This band keeps delivering only catch and great songs always, hail Hammerfall!
one of the greatest bands of all time ...
oh man Hammerfall is godlike legendary

Iarumas Shira Joacim Cans and Joakim Broden are both badasses of power metal.
Iarumas Shira check x-japan, manowar, rhapsody, stratovarius and others meeen
Good old Heavy Metal with a great singer. Go on rock the world
Many castles
Much dragons

Such Templar
So epic!
*W-O-W !!!!!!!*
Nice
Jajajajajajajajajajajajajajajajajajajajajajajajajaja ingles soy espanol

I like how all the pictures are basically all their other albums if you look at them closely, its so clever.
yea you noticed that as well as i did. :D
With the exception of Infected, because...well...it has nothing to do with Templars and Hector :)
Gábor Szabó yea infected was kinda out of the line
Friday noon people usually are inured
to let the hammer fall but from this moment on Hammerfall truely
starts off to keep on hammering...
Early Hammerfall style. fast and heavy. about time.

Swedish steel. They know how to do stuff.
I'm going to have to say that I am so in there with this band
I rose from the ashes, the remains of a time set aside
The warrior of Eden, found by honor, these two words collide
On and on and on, with glory he came, he saw, he conquered
He gathered his armies, true he leads his Templars of steel
They sought out the dragon, made the enemy bleed, made them kneel
On and on and on, a legend unbent, unbowed, unbroken
On and on and on, a story us born, a legacy reborn!
Hammer high to the sky
Follow the warrior and the king
Call of Hector's Hymn
Hammer high, amplify
Hail to the warrior!
Call of Hector's Hymn
Along came the thunder and the hero was set to return
We're haunted by fire, our spirit is now set to burn
On and on and on, the fire and the flame will burn forever
Still guarded by Templars, all the secrets of steel will remain
Cause we are the keepers, and for us this is real, not a game
On and on and on, we follow this need, we came, we conquered
On and on and on, together we fight, together we will fall
Hammer high to the sky
Follow the warrior and the king
Call of Hector's Hymn
Hammer high, amplify
Hail to the warrior!
Call of Hector's
Call of Hector's Hymn
Hammer high to the sky
Follow the warrior and the king
Call of Hector's Hymn
Hammer high, amplify
Hail to the warrior!
Call of Hector's
Call of Hector's Hymn
Thanks

Glorious are Hammerfall!!!
