Hammerfall to launch “Crimson Thunder” 20-year anniversary edition

For all nostalgic readers, for all those who have never stopped traveling on the shining wings of pure fantasy. The time has come. “Crimson Thunder” – the legendary album by Swedish power metallers Hammerfall – has now reached its twentieth year of life. To celebrate the anniversary, Hammerfall promises a newly remastered edition of the opus.

Released way back in 2002, “Crimson Thunder” contains some of the band’s best songs. From the unforgettable “Hearts on Fire” to the phantasmagorical “Lore of the Arcane”, the album represents a true milestone of the genre. The anniversary edition will be released on 20 April 2023 via Nuclear Blast Records. It seems that the re-edition will contain a lot of bonus materials, with the incredible mixing of giant Swedish producer Fredrik Nordström.
