	Review \| Renegade by HammerFall
		Renegade, their crucial third album, could gain the band a melodic rock/AOR audience.
		Granted, Cans shows increasing sophistication as a singer on this album, and you can't discount the beauty of his multi-tracked phrasing atop the percussive pre-choruses of epics like "Living In Victory" and "Destined For Glory." It may be difficult for him to replicate this sound in concert unless he uses a vocal harmonizer.
		HammerFall beat out Britney Spears for the top spot in Swedish TV's video countdown in September, yet they surely don't want to be accused of "going pop." They haven't, but Renegade is not "leagues heavier than its predecessors," as the press release claims.

	Live-Metal.Net - Interviews: Hammerfall
		I think this album definitely is what Hammerfall is all about, so if you don’t like this Hammerfall album, to quote [guitarist] Oscar [Dronjak] now, “you don’t like Hammerfall.” So if you don’t like this album, there’s no need to buy anything else.
		This album might be a little bit darker, like “Titan,” for instance, is kind of a very dark, futuristic vision when we all have to leave planet Earth to find something, like a new habitat.
		Hammerfall live is a way for the fans to be part of the show.

	RevelationZ Magazine - Album Review - Hammerfall - Renegade
		I clearly remember the impact Hammerfall's first album Glory To The Brave had on me, I was hooked immediately by this overwhelming, untamed and refreshing Power Metal that left a strong urge to press the play button once again, it was thrilling to say the least.
		Their second album Legacy Of Kings lived up to the high expectations in impressive style, and it is with this background that I feel a bit down writing this review.
		Renegade is the Swedes' third album and quite a lot of the magic has defiantly disappeared, it's like some of the unbound aggressiveness and high level of catchiness has been replaced with more basic song writing that come out tame in comparison.

		Hammerfall remind me of an old parable I was once introduced to, about the man (there were only men around in those days) building his house on the sand, and the man that built his abode on the rock.
		Hammerfall’s live renditions are mirrors of studio efforts, added to by Joacim relaying to the audience his Manowhorish power metal motifs in Swedish — berefting us English speakers of a good giggle.
		Hammerfall perform brilliantly, I have no qualm with their live abilities, but I’d prefer to invest my money into something new and slightly interesting, quite content with my complete and beautifully produced Hammerfall back catalogue.

	CD Gallery - Hammerfall
		Despite the fact that Hammerfall play a style of metal that is no longer considered cool, they are one of the top bands in the Eurometal scene and their first two albums both reached gold+ status.
		Hammerfall is a band that enjoys doing a lot of crowd interaction in their live sets.
		Hammerfall team up with ex-Helloween/current Gamma Ray guitarist Kai Hansen to cover a couple of their favorites; Helloweens "I Want Out" and Dio-era Rainbow "Man on the Silver Mountain." The Dio song is also on the Holy Dio tribute.

	Sacred Embrace: CD Reviews: HammerFall
		Hammerfall seem to enjoy opening their concerts with mid tempo compositions and "Riders Of The Storm" is perfect for such.
		While "Renegade" might not grab you from the start and pin you to your throne, the album certainly has the potential of growing on you, especially upon educating yourself about the band's approach to this piece.
		Their debut album "Glory To The Brave" injected the metal scene with new life, and now after having won the hearts of many, the band is back with "Legacy Of Kings".

		Hammerfall is easy to make fun of, and I’d be lying if I said I didn’t roll my eyes and grin during parts of this album.
		While this album doesn’t quite live up to the quality of their last effort, Legacy of Kings, this album is definitely a must have for fans of the genre, and it’s a damn fun listen for us who just dabble in this sort of thing as well.
		The music on the album is top-notch, with strong structures and excellent performances turned in by all the musicians involved.

	Amazon.com: Renegade: Music: Hammerfall (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		This album ranges from good to outstanding, with the only uninspired track (surprisingly) being a ballad entitled "Always Will Be." Hammerfall usually nails their ballads, so I was actually stunned that this track is easily the least effective song here.
		After their stellar debut album, "Glory to the Brave," shocked the entire Metal community into believing in Power Metal again, their second album, "Legacy of Kings," cemented their standing with a solid follow-up excursion but showed them to be in a holding pattern nonetheless.
		Hammerfall get's a lot of crap for being cheesy(real cheesy),but who cares,there music is good.They are traditional metal(maybe they have a little,little power metal in them).

		Depicted on the cover is an armored rider riding an equally armored horse, a heavy war hammer raised high in the rider's hands, a sea serpent raising up from the moat of a nearby castle which is slowly burning to the ground.
		If you haven’t heard already, HammerFall are a power metal band that is taking a lot of flak from many fans of other genres for not being true enough, not heavy enough, or not metal enough.
		The spirit of metal is given credence with HammerFall and their commitment to the metallic lifestyle.

	HammerFall
		HammerFall has once again entered Mi Sueno on Tenerife, to record some songs for the "Best of" album coming out in October.
		While it is surprising, it's not a total shock to us since he has seemed to be unhappy with the situation in the band and on tour for quite a while.
		HammerFall have been booked to appear at both the Rock Hard and Bang Your Head festivals, in May and June respectively.

	Amazon.com: Crimson Thunder: Music: Hammerfall (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		Hammerfall's album, "Crimson Thunder," is mostly mid-tempo Power Metal with frequent bursts of brilliance amid passionate vocalizations with medieval lyrics.
		This album is a great way to relive the glory days of 80s Power Metal with a new band passionate and talented enough to carry the songs to their grandiose heights.
		It seems Hammerfall has answered my prayer, for these types of songs are gone from this album, with the exception of the tolerable 3rd track.

	Hammerfall - 'Renegade' review @ into-obscurity.com[enter the underground]
		I heard so much news about this album before it came out that I couldn't wait until it came to me in the mail.
		I can't pinpoint what is different, just the overall sound, but it still has all the trademark Hammerfall qualities that put them at the top of the few power metal bands I can actually enjoy.
		I hope they tour the US again in support of this album because their show was full of pure metal energy.

	METALLIAN - Hammerfall
		Crimson Thunder is Hammerfall's fourth album and the follow-up to the mildly-received Renegade.
		The album booms out of the speakers with a patented Accept riff and it does not take long for the headbanger to notice that both the vocals and the music are slightly less extravagant and more compact than had been the case in the past.
		Hammerfall has the potential to release more great albums, and has been of service to the heavy metal cause with its conviction and blue-blooded approach.

	Hammerfall : Renegade - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
		As the second wave of power metal stretched on for a period that seemed longer than the genre's original period of glory years, preeminent practitioners like Sweden's Hammerfall recognized that their sound needed sprucing up.
		Fortunately, on the 2000 Nuclear Blast release Renegade, Hammerfall took a collective glimpse into the future, turning away ever so slightly from their '80s metal influences.
		Precision is at a premium, and while the lyrics are still way over the top, there's a universal appeal to hard-charging numbers like "Keep the Flame Burning" and "Living in Victory" that speak to a marginally wider audience, not just obsessive power metal enthusiasts.

	MetalBite - Heavy Metal Webzine - Tracks
		Hammerfall’s new record the "Renegade" was produced in the USA with sound master Michael Wagner.
		The next tune "Keep the Flame Burning" is just good old Hammerfall; an up-tempo heavy metal banger that reminds me of the highlights from their debut release.
		For any Hammerfall and power metal fan this is a very good album.

	Hammerfall interview
		Dubbed by their own words, “true German heavy metal from Sweden”, Hammerfall are unleashing to the world of heavy metal quite possibly the best power metal album to date.
		I was given a rare chance to chat with vocalist Joacim Cans about the new album and what sort of touring will be going on for the album while they are here in the states for the release date.
		I think the band is at the full peak of their performance and we invested so much more time in the studio to really try and to get up a notch when it comes to performance.

		Okay, maybe this is the only album I've really ever heard by them, but it has sparked an interest for me to buy more of their albums.
		As long as they rock, it is alright with me. I look forward to their new album coming out and I will go see them with Dio in the coming months.
		Renegade could be called GLORY TO THE BRAVE III, because, basically, all Hammerfall albums are exactly the same: cliched lyrics, the guys dressed like warriors, the obligatory obnoxious power ballads.

		Hammerfall is a band that'll keep you guessing who they've been influenced by,it's not easy to pinpoint and i'm a bit reluctant to say that Hammerfall has it's own unique style, nevertheless we thank them and a few other bands for keeping Power Metal alive.
		Hammerfall 2nd release is not as great as Glory to the Brave was but it's still way above most albums I've heard in my life.
		But the songs that makes this album one of the best of all time is "Heeding The Call" which has an explosive intro with high energy throughout the whole song, "Legacy of Kings" which has great guitar ripes and awesome vocals and "Let The Hammer Fall" is just classic bonecrushing metal.

		The albums after renegade have one problem, they all sound uninspired and the same.

		Their second album 'Legacy Of Kings' was a good one, but some people complained it sounded too much like the debut.
		And there are a lot of bands say they have grown more mature, but finally sound just the same as before But not with HammerFall; 'Renegade' is their greatest album to date.
		HammerFall is ready for the future and 'Renegade' is a great visit card.

	Hammerfall Reviews at Lunar Hypnosis
		I knew it was Hammerfall at the top of their game.
		The album remains melodic, emotive, and strong right through to the grand finale, marching headlong through the exquisite "Destined For Glory" and "The Champion".
		To begin the album with "Templars" and end it with "Legends" makes it an album I listen to on repeat quite happily.

	No Life 'til Metal - CD Gallery - Hammerfall
		This was the prerelease EP to the album "Legacy of Kings." The three live tracks are reason enough to own this EP.
		While Hammerfall is one of my favorite bands, they just don't have the NYC attitude to pull off a song by Dee Snider.
		Hammerfall are not a band that does a lot of experimenting with their sound, so really there are no surprises here.

	earpollution album reviews [page 2] - issue 2.1Ø, october 2ØØØ
		Since Jane left the major label fold and struck out on her own with the Ship-called-Sheeba, she has continually released albums that portray a songwriter extremely comfortable with the variances of the creative process and one not shy to let those differing directions see the light of day.
		The formula is pretty much the same as their last album, 1998's Out of Tune--but then again, the band's emergence from early-'90s shoegazers Slowdive is enough of a transformation in the lifetime of any group of musicians.
		Hailed as one of the best pop records to be released for years in their native Denmark, Igloo, from super-pop heroes the Superheroes, is also one of the best pop albums to be released of late, period.

		But, for people who don’t listen to heavy metal or HammerFall so much, they can’t say it is a huge difference from the first last albums.
		Magnus: I think that the result of Renegade was that some people thought that it was not heavy enough and hard enough.
		If we were to make an album that were very bad, it would be bad for everyone.

		As the second wave of power metal stretched on for a period that seemed longer than the genre's original period of glory years, preeminent practitioners like Sweden's Hammerfall recognized that their sound needed sprucing up.

		The remainder of the album is played at the mid-tempo speed, which is disappointing since it’s the faster songs that get me energized.
		Overall, the album harkens back a bit to a cross between GLORY TO THE BRAVE (without the speed) and CRIMSON THUNDER due to the overuse of the mid-tempo songs.
		Some detractors will no doubt call this album “Chapter V: Uninspired, Unoriginal, Uninteresting” but for fans, myself included, it will be lapped up despite its flaws because HammerFall on a bad day is still better than all of the over-popularized core shit that has been saturating the North American metal scene.
