HAMMERFALL Joined by King Diamond on Powerful New Track “Venerate Me”

Today, Swedish saviours of heavy metal HAMMERFALL have released a second single, “Venerate Me,” featuring a special guest appearance by none other than the legendary King Diamond, alongside a new visualizer. The track is cut from their 12th studio album, Hammer of Dawn, set for release on February 25, 2022 via Napalm Records.

Founding member and guitarist Oscar Dronjak on “Venerate Me”:
“The second single is here, and I’m very, very proud of it! The music was written during the darkest, most uninspiring days of the pandemic and still came out as one of the strongest on the whole album. Joacim’s fantastic lyric idea makes this track really stand out, and the special guest appearance towards the end really pushes it over the edge!”

Singer Joacim Cans adds:
“The song is over loaded with enchanting melodies and a very catchy chorus. Lyrically one of my greatest efforts dealing with the fact that we die twice! First when we take our last breath and second when someone says your name for the last time. Say my name and I will never die!”
