| Cant wait to hear this shit! Joacim comments got me amped for this album |
|
|
|
| Is this going to be Hammerfall's version of The Dark Ride? |
|
|
|
Yeah yeah... just for sake of imagination, what if this "legend has been reborn" and "hammerfall in 2011" actually means adding some "modern" nu metal to the mix hahaha  that would be too funny. |

Boy have I never heard that one before. Completely new yet everything's the same. Seems to be musician code for "we're turning everything into crap". |

| Such a bad cover art. All the previous album covers had this "cool" character on it, I really like them. Seems like they are changing style don't they? |

That would be awesome, I have a feeling this may just be their "Dark Ride". 
As for the cover art, I like it. All their previous covers have featured the same mascot, and art style. It does seem like the band may be bringing in some changes sound wise, lets just hope they are good ones! I find it funny that some are moaning that they may be changing their style. When many people have criticised them for never really changing their style over the years. Some bands just cant win no matter what they do. lol Morale of the story, write music for yourself, and yourself only, because its impossible to please everyone else.  |

| This kinda scares me... where is Hector???? He's ALWAYS on the cover... and the word reborn scares me a little too... I'll get it, just to hear it, cuz I like Hammerfall, and it's an equally good chance it's gonna kick ass... |

So the guy that made the cover art found the Biohazard symbol on google images, slapped the hammerfall and album name on it and called it done. I'd be shocked if it took more than an hour to make that crap. lol
I'm excited for the new album though. Hope it lives up to their hype! |

Hehe, it wouldnt surprise me if that's what actually happened! I do agree the cover could have been done better. I like the concept, but at least some detail or painting the biohazard symbol would have made it look a lot better. But the minimalism is good, and I like the way the Hammerfall logo has been redone. Makes it look a bit darker and menacing. Maybe the album will be darker sounding, which will make it an interesting listen. xD |

I'm pleasantly to see no Hector on the artwork and that the song titles have other words than steel/might/honor/knights/dragons.
Really hope this is the so much waited "brand new sound", agree that a Dark Ride Hammerfall version would be awesome ! |

| Well you can omit hector without putting out a shitty cover, like this.....but hey lets see what the music sounds like |
|
|
|
| Weird artwork for a band like this. |
|
|
|
| Why do bands keep using Patrick Ullaeus for videos? They are normally really bad. |

What a crappy cover. And it seems to hint at some kind of 'modern metal'.
The comments seem to hint at some kind of modern metal too.
Anyway, I will be extremely surprised if the album doesn't suck big time. |

| Yeah looks like a cover of a pissed off nu-metal band, but let's not judge a book by a cover hehe |

|
| Dude! Hammerfall the Zombie versioN! |

They're actually quite similar. Hopefully not in sound (for the fans' sake). |

|
| I can think of a few album covers that have a biohazard symbol or variations of it on the cover. |

With variations of the word "infected" as well? |

Not that I know of, though I'd be amazed if they are the only albums in existence with that word, or variations of it as a title. In any case, it's not like bands using radiation type symbols in artwork is anything new. I'd be amazed if Hammerfall started sounding like Chimaira though. lol A darker version of their own sound, (ala Helloween's "The Dark Ride") is what I'm hoping for anyways. |

|
Dunno about the sound itself, but what's with that awful look-a-like-cover?  |
|
|
|
| Agreed, weird cover for what we know of the band.. Let's hope the sound will be good enough to make us "forget" that cover. |
|
|
|
| Major props to Patrick Ullaeus for this phenomenal piece of art! I can only imagine the amount of labor and effort it would take to google image that biohazard sign. |
