HAMMERFALL – Remixed 20th Anniversary Break-Through Album “Renegade 2.0” Out Today!
Back in the year 2000 after the already euphoric reactions over their recent albums (Glory To The Brave, 1997 & Legacy Of Kings, 1998) the band traveled all the way to Nashville to work with iconic producer Michael Wagener (MÖTLEY CRÜE, METALLICA, MEGADETH, OZZY OSBOURNE) leaving the safe space that was Studio Fredman in Gothenburg Sweden where the aforementioned landmark releases had been produced.
Renegade marked the international breakthrough for the up-and-coming band featuring true heavy metal anthems like “Templars Of Steel,” “A Legend Reborn,” “Keep The Flame Burning,” or the incredibly successful title track.
For its 20th anniversary, the band went full circle by having Fredrik Nordström (DIMMU BORGIR, AT THE GATES, ARCH ENEMY, IN FLAMES) remix the album and besides that new touch also deliver a range of lavish physical formats with tons of bonus content and extended liner notes and interviews as well as brand new cover artwork again created by the great Andreas Marshall who already painted the iconic original cover.
