On December 19, 2025, HAMMER KING will release a very special double edition, closing the circle of their band’s history while opening a new chapter.
To mark the 10th anniversary of their debut album “Kingdom Of The Hammer King”, the album returns as a freshly remastered edition. The original artwork has received a modern twist, and thanks to Alexander Ecker’s brilliant remastering, the album now sounds warmer and more present than ever – without losing the charm and magic of the original.
The band comments:
“Time flies! While working on the re-release, we spent a lot of time with our debut and, after all these years without hearing many of these songs, it still feels just as fresh as when we began the journey of the Hammer King purely for fun and naivety!”
But that’s only half of the royal celebrations: with “Hammer King X – Alive In ’25”, HAMMER KING release their very first live album! Recorded in the summer of 2025, it captures the raw energy and magic of their acclaimed shows – including performances at Summer Breeze, Bongert Open Air, Formosa Bierfest, and their traditional summer homecoming at the 7er Club Mannheim.
The band adds:
“The best for last: the re-release of “Kingdom Of The Hammer King” comes together with our first live album. The circle is complete, as the very first album is released as a double with the first recordings of our fresh 2025 line-up. And yes, it’s also on vinyl! Put it under the Christmas tree and ‘Make Christmas Royal Again!’”.
Of course, the vinyl edition is also included: the anniversary edition is available as a double album on CD and vinyl, making it the perfect gift for all metalheads.
