In times when finest steel was no longer considered the crowning of our beloved genre, Hammerfall came to the rescue and blew everyone away with melodic finesse and sincerity: full length albums such as Glory To The brave (1997) and Renegade (2000) quickly established the Swedes as pioneers of a modern version of classic 80s metal - and they sure haven't slowed down any since! Built To Last - the tenth album in a career spanning nearly twenty years - definitely boasts a programmatic title and brilliantly displays the strengths of the band. Highly melodic and swift anthems, aggressive lead guitars, choruses you'd kill your mother for and Joacim Cans' inimitable, steel-melting voice (recorded once more with James Michael / SIXX AM in L.A.) turn this oeuvre into one of the most consistent, exciting and passionate Hammerfall ever recorded!
