In an interview with Metal Hammer, HammerFall frontman Joacim Cans recently clarified that the band does not identify with the frequently used label “Power Metal.” Cans explained that the term ‘Power Metal’ is ” the American way of naming traditional heavy metal, especially if it’s not made in the 80s.” He emphasized: “We are as traditional as can be. I think heavy metal is enough because, within the boundaries of heavy metal, you can do so many things.”
Avenge The Fallen: HammerFall’s new album
Speaking about the new album ‘Avenge The Fallen’, Cans said: “Do we want to be a band who releases new music just for the sole reason of getting out on the road again or do we want to keep pushing and challenging ourselves? In times when people have less and less attention span, we still think in the form of full-length albums. A few good songs don’t make a strong album. A strong album comes from an album full of great songs and that’s what we’re delivering with ‘Avenge The Fallen’.”
