Hammerfall - Avenge the Fallen Review :: Melanie loves power metal??

[@JosephKissSr.]

I agree that Hammerfall is more of a traditional heavy metal band than a power metal band. I’m a huge Hammerfall fan and I’m really looking forward to this release. Hammer high! 🤘🔨

[@vikmania9276]

I agree! Hammerfall has never been a Power Metal Band, not in my book and not in the minds of the band themselves… they play “true German heavy metal from Sweden”

[@mattflesch1365]

Hammerfall kick ass I've seen them live 5 or 6 times and they killed it every time

[@letstalkmetal]

Very cool that you got into Hammerfall w/ the new album! They do kinda straddle the line between power and traditional metal. I haven't kept up with them over the years but their debut, 'Glory to the brave', is an old favorite.

Greetings from the UK-England...I`ve been a big Hammerfall fan since about 2005-i`m 63 now and STILL a Metalhead-seen them live every time they play over here.I would not call them Power Metal-even Oscar does not like that term to describe them,my cd of the new album will be arriving today-Friday 9th August-so i`ll watch your review after listening to it.After all these years and albums i`m not expecting anything new or groundbreaking but i still think they can knock it out when they need to.

Avenge the Fallen by Hammerfall kicks all kinds of ass.

[@WilliamRyan-h2y]

Hell yes! Been listening to these guys since 97' Great review!

I really enjoyed the debut when it came out and bought the second album too. After that it became to “by the numbers” for me, but I am glad for their success as it benefits the traditional metal scene as a whole.

[@metalcrusader6666]

Brilliant review! I believe this is their best album, and most of these songs is 7 years old, And the theme for this album is “Freedom” that’s why there’s a song called freedom 🤘💯🎸,

I own one Hammerfall cd (Legacy of Kings)and I like it a lot. I don’t feel a need to buy more, but it’s there for me when I need it.

[@Riky_Jones]

Yes this and the Riot V album have been the best heavy metal albums of the year.

[@robertmorris8371]

It's fine Mel I ignored these guys for years and now I own most of their albums for me bands like this are a perfect escape from all the crap that's going in the world

[@HeavyMetal_Hamster]

This one caught me by surprise. A Power Metal Review from Melanie.

[@cbn6635]

I thought it was the 1. of April, when I saw Melanie was about to review a bloody Hammerfall album! Wtf!? 🤗 Personally Hammerfall does absolutely nothing for me, but your enthusiasm certainly shines through. Great (but surprising) review, Melanie. 👍

[@MelanieLovesDeathMetal]

Sometimes you gotta change it up a bit 😄

[@the_malefactor]

Hammerfall is most certainly power metal, but the fact they don't go full-tilt into the Euro PM style in the post-Helloween lineage gives them something in common with classic USPM. Highly recommend you dig into that sphere of things, whether it's Jag Panzer or something like the '80s Cloven Hoof albums.

The only power metal thing about HammerFall is the vocals, The guitars/drums and background vocals are Heavy Metal,
