| Friday, January 16, 2009 - Hammerfall video premiere | News from Hammerfall:
On Saturday, January 17th, the very first performance of the new single 'Any Means Necessary' is scheduled for the P3 Guld event held in at Scandinavium in Goteborg, Sweden. HammerFall will perform the song throughout the program, which will be aired live both on Swedish national TV and radio. Check your local listing for time and channels.
The online world video premiere of said song will take place exclusively on MySpace the next day, January 18th.
'Any Means Necessary' is the first single off the band's eighth full-length album No Sacrifice, No Victory, due on February 20, 2009 via Nuclear Blast Records. The CD was recorded in part at Andy La Rocque's Sonic Train Studios in Varberg, Sweden and includes an instrumental written by the group's latest addition, guitarist Pontus Norgren, as well as a song entitled 'One Of A Kind', which was composed as a collaboration between HammerFall guitarist Oscar Dronjak and IN FLAMES axeman Jesper Strömblad (who was a member of HammerFall in the band's earliest incarnation). The cover artwork was created by Sam Didier, while Thomas Ewerhard was responsible for the CD layout.
