HAMMERFALL med “ny” bassist

HAMMERFALL have announced a new bass player: Fredrik Larsson, original member of the band, has re-entered the realms of the Swedish steel gods and will replace Magnus Rosen from now on!

"I am very happy and excited to be back! I have known the guys for more than ten years and we have kept in touch all the time, so it is not as if I come in a complete stranger. We played a few songs together last weekend, and it felt like 1997 was just a couple of weeks ago", says Fredrik about coming back into the fold. Oscar comments: "Fredrik brings structure to the rhythm section and I think you will definitely hear and feel the difference when we play live". "He plays with a pick, for one, and has a great groove and timing, all of which will make HAMMERFALL sound better than we ever have before", Anders remarks, and Stefan chimes in: "We are all very psyched about this and can't wait to get on the road again." "Fredrik recorded 'Glory To The Brave' with us, so he's definitely a part of the family. It's great to have him back!" adds Joacim.

Check out the revitalized HAMMERFALL at their gigs at Rock Hard festival (www.rockhardfestival.de ), Bang Your Head festival (www.bang-your-head.de ), Masters Of Rock (www.mastersofrock.cz ) and more open air shows during this summer! More dates to be announced very soon.
