HammerFall release music video for ‘Dominion’
HAMMERFALL have released a brand new music video!
The video, for new single Dominion, is the title track from the band’s upcoming album of the same name, which is scheduled for release in August.
Speaking about the video, which was premiered at Wacken Open Air Festival, vocalist Joacim Cans says, “after the great success with the (We Make) Sweden Rock video, we needed to take the Dominion clip to a whole new level. Since it was impossible to take it higher – we decided to descend to Pandemonium, the Capital of Hell! With great CGI effects the storyline walks hand in hand with the lyrical theme and never before have we had so much fun recording a video.”
About the track, guitarist Oscar Dronjak adds, “the riff and the most part of the first half of the song was written and conceived on a family vacation in Florida. The rest was completed on tour with HAMMERFALL, which is a first for me as a song writer; I’ve never written anything at all while on the road before. The massive guitars and the pounding drums gets us started, but it’s really in the verses and choruses where the song really comes into bloom. You will not be able to get the chorus out of your head, and in this case it’s a good thing”

For the upcoming album, the band re-teamed with James Michael to do vocals at Red Level Three Studios, and Fredrik Nordström of Studio Fredman at Castle Black Studios for the instruments on the powerful 12 song collection.
Speaking about the upcoming album the band says, “good is not good enough; it has to be great.’ This is the mantra we have applied to every aspect of making this album, from the song writing and rehearsals to the production and the performance of each member. The result is Dominion, a powerful force of nature that cannot be stopped. Once you hear it, you will understand.”
Dominion is set for release on August 16th via Napalm Records.
