Good news for HammerFall fans! The Swedish metal band's guitarist Oscar Dronjak recently revealed that the follow-up for their 2019 album "Dominion" is coming this 2022.

He revealed they began writing music way before March of this year. The upcoming record will feature unreleased songs that they have been working on in the past.

"Some parts of this album are older, but I started writing songs during the vocal recordings for 'Dominion'; when Joacim [Cans] was recording his vocals for the previous album, 'Dominion', I set up my stuff and I just started." he said. (via Metal Insider)

In addition, there were tracks that were supposed to be a part of their 2019 album, but he decided to "hold it" because they felt that the songs needed more spotlight in the future.
