Description
HAMMER KING – Make Metal Royal Again (Release: August 15, 2025 | Reaper Entertainment) Heavy Metal returns to royalty. With their new studio album Make Metal Royal Again, HAMMER KING make one thing unmistakably clear: the throne of Power Metal is theirs. Following the resounding success of their previous albums Kingdemonium (#17 DE) and König und Kaiser (#16 DE), the quartet rises in 2025 with even more grandeur, pathos, and power — delivering a soundtrack that transforms the stage into their royal dominion. A royal soundtrack made for the stage Make Metal Royal Again will be released on August 15, 2025, via Reaper Entertainment and marks the high point of the band’s illustrious career to date. Produced by Charles Greywolf and Titan Fox V at Studio Greywolf, mixed and mastered by Jacob Hansen (Hansen Studios), the album features ten brand new songs and a bonus cover — each capturing a different facet of the Hammer cosmos. From anthemic epics like “For Crown and Kingdom” to the majestic “Hoheitsgebiet,” and the orchestral narrative “King For A Day,” this album shows the band in peak creative form. The emotional centrepiece is the touching ballad “Schlaf Kaiser schlaf,” a song that gives musical life to the band’s oldest legend. With “Danger Zone,” HAMMER KING explore new territory, presenting their first-ever cover song — a heavy metal homage to pop culture in shining armor. A special milestone: Make Metal Royal Again marks the debut of drummer Count Shandorian, whose precision, power, and songwriting drive bring a sharpened focus to the band’s evolving sound.
