Next HammerFall releases: June 27th535 giorni fa
 
On June 27th, 2008, two new HammerFall releases will see the light of day: a DVD - continuing chronicling the band's career - and a cover CD - a collection of all the covers recorded by HF to date plus three new, unreleased ones. Incidentally, this will be Stefan's last release with HammerFall. Detailed information from www.nuclearblast.de. follows:


Rebels With A Cause - Unruly, Unrestrained, Uninhibited (DVD)

The DVD will be a continuation of the previous two (The First Crusade and The Templar/Renegade Crusades) and contain newly recorded interviews with the band interspersed with footage from their own cameras. The time span is six years, from the beginning of 2002 til the end of 2007, and it's edited together as a documentary of sorts, i.e. one continuous film, but of course with chapters.
Also included will be all six promo videos made during the time in question plus some behind the scenes, four professionally filmed live songs from Filderstadt 2005, five TV clips they have purchased the rights to from SVT (the Swedish national television network) and some more home-made stuff as bonus. The complete running time is estimated to 1h 30-1h 45 plus 1h 15-1h 30.

Stefan Elmgren leaves HammerFall601 giorni fa
 
Guitar player Stefan Elmgren has made the decision to leave HammerFall to concentrate on his second passion, flying. He has been working hard the last couple of years to get various flying certificates, and was recently offered a position at an airline: ”My interest in aviation has been growing very strong during the last couple of years, and I would have hoped for an opportunity like this maybe in a couple of years”, says Stefan and continues: ” I feel it’s time for me to take the step and become a pilot on a professional level, another dream come true for me after traveling around the world and playing metal for eleven years. We have discussed the possibility of combining the piloting work with
HammerFall, but we all realized that it would be impossible given the rigorous schedule of the band.”

”There is never a good timing to lose a great guitarist like Stefan, but considering we’re in between touring and recording it could definitely have been worse”, says drummer Anders Johansson. ”We’ll announce his replacement shortly so we can continue working on our next record, the recordings are scheduled for this summer and we will not let this affect anything we have scheduled. The show must go on, as we all well know.”

Hi everybody,

Our sincere apologies to all of you who weren't contacted, before they were removed as a band member, moderator or before their band profile was removed.

In advance Bebo checked the respective profiles that were being taken over by Nuclear Blast Records for inactivity. The policy of Bebo prohibits taking over active profiles without contacting the creator. So any profile, which was taken over without any notice to the creator, has not been accessed in a period longer than 3 months.
In case our assumptions concerning the inactivity of your profiles were wrong, again our apologies to everybody, affected by this step.

We hope you can understand the label's obligation to our artists, to maintain their copyrights and publicity. Hands down, you have made the biggest step of all, by creating really successful and beautiful Bebo profiles. Thank you very much, as well on behalf of our artists. We really appreciate your time and efforts you have spent in creating and maintaining the profiles. Thanks.

Multiple unofficial band profiles, however, are quite confusing and not helpful for fans to get an update on the most recent news about the band.

Finally, we hope that you will continue to stay active on Bebo and enjoy the music of your favourite bands.

Cheers,

Nuclear Blast Records \m/
