Swedish Heavy Metal band Hammerfall will release a new live album, Live! Against The World, via Napalm Records on October 23, 2020.

 
Hammerfall did a massive tour in 2019 and 2020, including huge arenas and pyrotechnic shows, and now that will become part of their release history, too. Recorded on February 15th at the MHP Arena in Ludwigsburg, Germany, Live! Against The World contains songs from their latest album Dominion, mixed with a ton of band classics, as well as a few rarities.

The band's seminal album Renegade is also celebrating its 20th anniversary and was commemorated during the concert.

The single and video for "Never Forgive, Never Forget" has been released as a teaser:

Singer Joacim Cans reflects:

"We Are HAMMERFALL And This Is What We Do! I am so damn proud that we are able to present a full blown, up-to-date, live show in these extremely difficult times.  A time when real live shows in front of a ”real” live audience have ceased to exist. The show at MHP Arena Ludwigsburg was nothing but epic and really captured the strength and power of the band as a live act and shows the joy we are experiencing together on stage every night, no matter where we play. This is the biggest stage production we ever had and now you can experience this at home anywhere, at any time. HAMMERFALL is and always will be a live band and together with the greatest fans in the world we are an unstoppable force!"
 
Guitarist Oscar Dronjak adds:

"The live act that HAMMERFALL is right now blows everything we have done previously out of the water, and I am super happy that we got to document it in this way on the biggest tour we have ever done. The setlist speaks for itself, every album is represented with at least one song; there’s stuff we have never performed live before, songs we haven’t played in a long time and of course all the classics. It’s a great testament to where we stand today, and an added bonus is that we finally got to record something major in Germany, in front of the fans who have been with us literally since day one."
