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 Thunderhad surpassed 60,000 sales and hit platinum status.

A special 20-year anniversary edition of “Crimson Thunder,” will be released on April 28^th 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.

Today, the band presents a brand new lyric video for their old classic “Riders Of The Storm”, in remixed and remastered version. Front-man Joacim Cans comments on the song: “This mid tempo, riff based song instantly became a live hit for both the band and the fans. I just love it when the crowd starts to jump in the beginning when the beat kicks in! Even though the lyrical theme is a bit on the dystopian side there is a positive vibe and energy, with a feeling of hope, within the music. A feeling of hope that eventually also can be found in the lyrics.”
