Original 2014 press on double vinyl. Black vinyls with gatefold cover

After taking a creative break last year, Swedish Heavy Metal pioneers Hammerfall are fully recharged and back with a vengeance. With (R)evolution the band takes things back to the roots in many ways, as they once again worked with producer Fredrik Nordstrom, who helmed their two milestone releases Glory To The Brave and Legacy Of Kings during the bands early years and thus has taken a major part in the development of Hammerfall. The music was recorded in guitarist Oscar Dronjak’s Castle Black Studios, then singer Joacim Cans went to the United States for vocal recordings, once again working with James Michael. Another reunion of sorts takes place with cover artist Andreas Marschall, the father of Hammerfall’s mascot Hector. The beautiful artwork features all the traits that made the Andreas Marschall Hammerfall covers so beautiful and special. The hymn-like Bushidosums up the band and its history perfectly, as in Japanese bushido means the way of the warrior.
