The gods have finally listened to Australia's HammerFall loyalists, with the Swedish power heavy metallers to tour down under for the very first time in 2025.
Recently celebrating their 30th anniversary as a band, Sweden's metal overlords will voyage to Australia headlining concerts in Fremantle, Adelaide, Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane in January.With over a million monthly Spotify listeners alongside 100 million-plus YouTube views, HammerFall have stormed the gates of heavy music's pantheon since releasing their debut album 'Glory To The Brave' in 1997.
The five-piece's – featuring original guitarist Oscar Dronjak and longstanding members bassist Fredrik Larsson and lead vocalist Joacim Cans – back catalogue features a slew of metal classics like 'Hearts On Fire', 'Last Man Standing' and 'Any Means Necessary'.
"We all agreed that 1 measly show in 27 years is not nearly enough," Dronjak says. "So we're coming in full force next year. Brace yourselves for a heavy metal celebration the likes of which you have never seen!"
Adds Cans: "We are very excited to bring our particular brand of heavy metal to Australia for the first time, and we can't wait to show you what HammerFall Anno 2025 sounds like!"
In April, HammerFall released the single 'Hail To The King' and revealed their thirteenth studio album, 'Avenge The Fallen', is set for release in August. Earlier this week, they dropped their new single 'The End Justifies'.
Tickets on sale from 9am (local time) on 14 June.
