 HD Interviews Hammerfall
Oscar: It's been up and down of course, but mostly it's been better than we've expected in terms of audience appreciation and response when we play.
Oscar: Actually, he's got himself to blame a little, because he told the bus driver that "I'm going to the store and buy something and then I'm going to bed." When everybody came back, they assumed he had gone to bed, but he hadn't gotten out of the store yet.
Oscar: I'd like for them to leave with a smile on their faces -- because I think that's the way you should leave a Heavy Metal concert because that means you've had fun -- that you've enjoyed yourself.

Oscar: Yes, and I think the energy is really important here as well, For me this is a heavy metal album with a rock ‘n’ roll atmposphere and feeling in it.
Oscar: You know what the ‘80’s were, they were very much based on melodies and at the end they we very “light”…alternative rock came as a reaction to that and then we had death metal, the extreme, aggressive form of metal.

Oscar Dronjak graduated from playing heavy metal cover tunes to writing his own music in 1989 with his death metal band Desecrator (later Ceremonial Oath).
Yet in 1993, Dronjak grew tired of death metal and often looked back to the music from his formative years for inspiration.
A veritable blessing in disguise (considering the band had been on the road for the past ten months), a much-needed break was imposed on the band in order to assure Dronjak’s full recovery, as he was determined to regain his ability to play guitar via physical therapy sessions (which he subsequently accomplished).

Ceremonial Oath is one of those bands with a short career, but an important one due to their influence on later bands, as well as the fact that many members became well known in their future bands.
Formed in 1989 as Desecrator by guitarist Oscar Dronjak, the band recorded two demos before changing name to Ceremonial Oath in time for their first album, Book Of Truth.
Soon after that album's release, however, Dronjak and bassist Jesper Stromblad left to pursue other interests (which turned to be HammerFall and In Flames).

 HammerFall - Art History Online Reference and Guide
Hammerfall was formed when guitarist Oscar Dronjak quit Ceremonial Oath and asked Jesper Strömbland (from In Flames, also originally a member of Ceremonial Oath) to join him, in order for them to start a band which he had already been planning for some time.
Both of the founders had also created parallel bands; the relatively unsucessful Crystal Age from Dronjak and the band which influenced much of Swedish melodic death metal, In Flames from Strömbland.
This album was once more written by Joacim, Oscar and Jesper, who despite having quit the band still helped them, in order to keep the same spirit of their first album.

I've read an interview where Oscar and Joacim tells that they had to scratch some tunes because they were not happy with the outcome of them, as they did not get that good feeling they usually do when they write new songs.
So although I found their last album to be a bit below par for Joacim, Oscar and company, I still say that they have released an impressive string of quality metal.
