HAMMERFALL Remixed Title Track Of 20th Anniversary Break-Through Album RENEGADE 2.0
Fast paced and in your face, yet epic and melodic. The title track of the band’s legendary break-through album Renegade meant the beginning of a new era for HAMMERFALL as well as for the metal world as a whole and is to this day a true classic of the genre!
Today it´s time to unleash the remixed version of this undeniable heavy metal anthem, along with the original cut from legendary Wacken Open Air 2001, which brings back wistful memories!
Listen to the newly remixed version here:
21 years ago, the Swedish Heavy Metal powerhouse HAMMERFALL travelled to Nashville to record their third album with legendary producer Michael Wagner, leaving the safe space that was Studio Fredman in Göteborg.
Fredrik Nordström had recorded the two previous records, so naturally that was a huge change for the band.
The Wagner experience and the Renegade album turned out great, as we all know today. For this anniversary edition, the band felt that they needed to close the circle and have Fredrik remix the Renegade album.
The result is Renegade 2.0 which will be released via Nuclear Blast Records on November 12th in many beautiful formats and with a brand-new album artwork made by famous cover artist Andreas Marshall which makes every HAMMERFALL fan heart beats faster!
Ever since the release of their debut album Glory To The Brave, in 1997, HAMMERFALL dropped jaws everywhere they went. 3 years and one album (Legacy Of Kings 1998) later, Swedish heavy metal saviors HAMMERFALL released what would be their international break-through and first number one record in their native: Renegade. Songs like the title track, the ballad ‘Always Will Be’, the ferocious opening track ‘Templars Of Steel’ or the pummelling ‘The Way Of The Warrior’ made the album the landmark release that it is today. From then on out HAMMERFALL kept rising through the ranks, becoming an institution in the metal world and are responsible for the revival of traditional heavy metal in the post-grunge music scene. Almost 30 years, countless tours around the globe and 11 albums in, HAMMERFALL are still going strong, being one of the most successful heavy bands to ever come out of Sweden.
