Formed in 1993 in Gothenburg, Sweden, HammerFall continues to keep the heavy metal legend alive and well. With them, sound becomes a vehicle for imposing, robust, powerful sensations. Dramatic too, but without ever falling into kitsch. And it is surely this well-crafted intensity that contributes to the band’s longevity. They feel invincible, we feel invincible, and it feels good.
With a name inspired by an Iron Maiden song, the band Tailgunner is determined to reignite the flame of British heavy metal. Formed in 2022, they quickly attracted attention with their first singles and then their debut album, Guns For Hire, released in 2023. For their next album, the band has announced that they will be joined by the famous KK Downing as producer, all via Napalm Records. Their rise to fame looks set to be spectacular.
