Mit "Dominion" legen die Power-Metal-Legenden ihr inzwischen elftes Studioalbum vor.
Das Album wird am 16. August 2019 via Napalm Records das Licht der Welt erblicken. Die Band kommentierte die Ankündigung: “Good is not good enough; it has to be great. This is the mantra we have applied to every aspect of making this album, from the song writing and rehearsals to the production and the performance of each member. The result is DOMINION, a powerful force of nature that cannot be stopped. Once you hear it, you will understand.”

Kürzlich hat die Formation zudem ein Musikvideo zum Titelsong des Albums hochgeladen. Joacim Cans dazu: “After the great Erfolg with the “(We Make) Sweden Rock” video, we needed to take the “Dominion” clip to a whole new level. Since it was impossible to take it higher - we decided to descend to Pandemonium, the Capital of Hell! With great CGI effects the storyline walks hand in hand with the lyrical theme and never before have we had so much fun recording a video.”
Oscar Dronjak zur Single: "The riff and the most part of the first half of the song was written and conceived on a family vacation in Florida. The rest was completed on tour with HammerFall, which is a first for me as a song writer; I’ve never written anything at all while on the road before. The massive guitars and the pounding drums gets us started, but it’s really in the verses and choruses where the song really comes into bloom. You will not be able to get the chorus out of your head, and in this case it’s a good thing"
Selbstverständlich werden HAMMERFALL ihr neues Album auch wieder auf Tour vorstellen. Als Support-Acts konnten die Schweden hierfür BATTLE BEAST und SERIOUS BLACK gewinnen.
