HammerFall Steel Meets Steel Nuclear Blast Records 2007 |
After ten years, Hammerfall does indeed have enough stuff to compile a retrospect on their career. This two-disc set collects 29 tracks that span their entire career. To begin with, there are four unreleased tracks, sort of. There is a ridiculous intro to the set that they consider an unreleased track, I don’t really even consider it a track. There...

Recorded at their hometown gig in Gothenburg during their "The Crimson Crusades" tour, this is definitely not an... Read More » |

HammerFall Crimson Thunder Nuclear Blast Records 2002 |
HammerFall is one of the bands I never took seriously enough to listen to more than a handful of the songs. Sure, Remember Yesterday is a great ballad and Steel Meets Steel is a powerful metal anthem, but the band came onto the scene around the time when power metal was making an already cheesy resurgence, and that made HammerFall...
