HammerFall have released Part 1 of a track-by-track video series for their new album, Built To Last, due for release this Friday, November 4th, via Napalm Records. The clip, streaming below, also includes audio snippets:

Guitarist Oscar Dronjak previously stated: "Built To Last is our 10th studio album in 19 years, incredibly enough, but I think we sound more alive and vibrant than ever before! We have worked our asses off to make sure this album is a worthy successor to (r)Evolution, and I have no doubt in my mind that we have created one of the strongest records we have ever done. I am immensely proud and excited about this album, and I am confident all our Templars of Steel will agree once they hear it in November."

The album artwork, designed by Andreas Marschall, and tracklisting can be seen below.

“The Sacred Vow” lyric video:

HammerFall will embark on another celebrated tour over Europe, beginning on January 12th, 2017 in Bremen, Germany. Now the band announce that special guests Gloryhammer will be joining HammerFall on their extensive European Tour, and the support will come from Lancer.

”We got exactly the support bands we wanted”, says guitarist Oscar Dronjak. ”There is no doubt in my mind that Lancer will be thoroughly enjoyed by all our fans, and Gloryhammer's mighty and epic music will be the perfect lead-in to the HammerFall show that will follow. The World Wide (r)Evolution was a resounding success on every level with half of the shows sold out, and we can’t wait to get back on stage again to have a gigantic heavy metal party every night with all our Templar friends!”

HammerFall and Delain have joined forces for a co-headline North American tour, set for spring of 2017. Tickets and VIP packages for all shows are available now at this location.
