HAMMERFALL will release its new album, "Infected", in Europe on May 20 via Nuclear Blast Records. To celebrate the occasion, the band decided to play two exclusive shows in Germany where fans can listen to the entire CD three weeks before its release. Tickets to the show include a free patch and pin pack with uniquely produced material for these two nights only.

The dates are:

April 28 - Hamburg, Germany @ Gruenspan
April 29 - Osnabrück, Germany @ Ballroom

"One More Time", the new single from HAMMERFALL, is available for streaming on the band's Facebook page.

On April 6, Nuclear Blast Records released a limited-edition picture seven-inch version of "One More Time" from HAMMERFALL's upcoming album "Infected". The vinyl is limited on 500 copies and sold through the Nuclear Blast mailorder only. On the B-side of the single there is a live version of "Hallowed Be My Name" recorded at the Scandinavium in Gothenburg, Sweden in 2009. The digital version of the single contains an additional instrumental version of "One More Time".

"Infected" will be released on May 20 in Europe and June 7 in North America via Nuclear Blast Records. Laying down the foundation themselves in their own studio in Sweden, the members of HAMMERFALL then traveled to Nashville, Tennessee to finish it up with acclaimed producer James Michael (MÖTLEY CRÜE, SCORPIONS, MEAT LOAF). He also mixed the album, giving it a decisive updated edge without losing any of the essence of the band's sound. "James helped us create something that was new and exciting while still in the line of our heritage", Oscar Dronjak, guitar player and founder of the band, explains.

The album consists eleven songs, and the limited first edition will also include a bonus DVD with unreleased video material of five of the "Infected" tracks.

"Infected" track listing:

01. Patient Zero
02. Bang Your Head
03. One More Time
04. The Outlaw
05. Send Me A Sign
06. Dia De Los Muertos
07. I Refuse
08. 666 - The Enemy Within
09. Immortalized
10. Let's Get It On
11. Redemption

A video for the song "One More Time" was shot by Patric Ullaeus of Revolver Film Company, who was also responsible for the cover artwork of "Infected".
