Swedish metal band HAMMERFALL has unveiled a new single titled “The End Justifies”. This quintessential HAMMERFALL track marks the second single from their forthcoming album, “Avenge The Fallen,” set to be released on August 9 through Nuclear Blast Records.
“The End Justifies” captures the essence of HAMMERFALL’s signature sound, combining powerful riffs, soaring vocals, and a relentless rhythm that fans have come to love. The accompanying video, filmed in the band’s rehearsal studio, brings an intense visual experience that matches the song’s driving energy. Fast-paced camera movements and raw, unfiltered footage showcase the band’s passion and dedication, creating an immersive experience for viewers.
Less than a year after taking the final bow of the “United Forces” tour, the quintet of guitarist Oscar Dronjak, singer Joacim Cans, bass player Fredrik Larsson, guitarist Pontus Norgen and drummer David Wallin are back with ten brand new solid pieces of classic heavy metal.
“This is our 13th album,” Cans said about “Avenge The Fallen”. “How do you still stay relevant after 13 albums? It’s very much like the opening line to the song ‘Avenge The Fallen’: ‘What is the worst, be the one who died, or be the one who survived.’ Think about it, because it is a tough question”.
He continued: “Do we want to be a band who releases new music just for the sole reason of getting out on the road again or do we want to keep pushing and challenging ourselves? In times where people have less and less attention span, we still think in the form of full-length albums. A few good songs don’t make a strong album. A strong album comes from an album full of great songs and that’s what we’re delivering with ‘Avenge The Fallen’.”
This past April, HAMMERFALL unleashed the first single and video from “Avenge The Fallen”, “Hail To The King”, a song that was born on the road.
