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 finnesse and sincerity: full length albums 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 – the tenth album in a career spanning nearly twenty years – definitely boasts a programmatic title and brilliantly displays the strengths of the band.
