After taking a creative break last year, Swedish Metallers HammeFfall are fully recharged and back with a vengeance. With "(r)Evolution", band takes things back to the roots in many ways, as the band once again worked with producer Fredrik Nordström, who helmed HammerFall's two milestone releases "Glory To The Brave" and "Legacy Of Kings" during the group's early years and thus played a major part in the development of HammerFall.
The music for "(r)Evolution" was recorded in March and April at guitarist Oscar Dronjak's Castle Black Studios. Singer Joacim Cans then went to the United States for vocal recordings, once again working with James Michael (Scorpions, Motley Crüe), who previously collaborated with HammerFall on "Infected". The album was mixed and mastered by Fredrik Nordström and Henrik Udd at Studio Fredman.
"(r)Evolution" represents yet another reunion of sorts for the band, who hired cover artist Andreas Marschall, the "father" of HammerFall's mascot Hector, to design the artwork for the new CD.
“(r)Evolution” is an uprising of old and represents a reset for the band that would stylistically fall somewhere between “Legacy Of Kings” and “Crimson Thunder”. The material is refreshed and catchy without being overdone and drab. The band’s decision to stick to what it is good at and what made the band famous was a sound decision. Of course, there will be certain fans of HammerFall that will never be satisfied unless a time machine is built to transport their physical beings to catch up with the late 90’s mentality. But not any reason to imagine how any longtime fans would be disappointed. HammerFall has given you exactly what you wanted – a return to passionate and glorious cheese so you must “Live Life Loud”!!

The first album to feature David Wallin on drums.
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: longplays 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" 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 turn this oeuvre into one of the most consistent, exciting and passionate HammerFall ever recorded!
Special Edition contains Bonus DVD “Live At Masters Of Rock 15”, filmed live at the Masters Rock Festival, Rudolf Jelínek Distillery, Vizovice, Czech Republic, July 10th 2015.

This album is a masterpiece of Power Metal, there is not much more to be said other than.
This album is the prototype of knighthood themed Power Metal. Hammerfall took the formulas of Savage Grace, Omen and Warlord, included a user-friendly softness without compromising with their artistic integrity. Everything is in place. The riffs are clean as white sheets, easy as spring winds, fast as adolescent fantasies and hyper melodic without being cheap or superficial. They don't surprise you with creative nuance, they ignite you with love for a long tested and admired way of getting the most out of simple Heavy Metal chords. Accessibility was not the goal of the composition, just the result, and this makes all the difference in the world. Every line and melody is heartfelt, every twist and turn matters in the context of greater things. Although the eighties shine through every pore of this album, it still sounds fresh, vital, new and exciting.
In 2019, Metal Hammer Magazine ranked the album as the 9th Best Power Metal Album of All Time.
