Hammerfall 20-Year-Anniversary edition of Crimson Thunder, join Helloween on US Tour
Swedish Power Metal legends Hammerfall recently announced their return to Nuclear Blast and celebrated a career milestone when it was announced that their albums Renegade, Crimson Thunder, No Sacrifice, No Victory and Chapter V: Unbent, Unbowed, Unbroken had all achieved gold status in Sweden. And stoking the flames even higher – it was revealed that Crimson Thunder had surpassed 60,000 sales and hit platinum status. The band are proud to announce a special 20-year anniversary edition of Crimson Thunder, which will be released on April 28th via Nuclear Blast Records, continuing their retrospective series.
Their fourth studio album has been remixed and remastered by Fredrik Nordström and this definitive version will include previously unreleased pre-production tracks, a brand-new medley, and live acoustic songs. To give their fans a taster, here is a remixed and remastered version of their most popular song “Hearts On Fire.”

This is our biggest anniversary edition yet!”
