Tracklisting & More Information
The legendary So-Cal punk group The Offspring are back with their 10th album and first new offering since 2008. After releasing two standalone tracks in 2020 - the over-the-top cover of Joe Exotic's (of Tiger King infamy) "Hey Kitty Kitty" and a rendition of Darlene Love's classic "Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)" - the band is ready to plant their punk rock flag in the sand once again with their blistering new album Let the Bad Times Roll.
With the help of producer Bob Rock, Dexter Holland describes the album as "the most cathartic thing we've done. The messages might be dark, but at the end what's left is that communication is important, working through feelings is important and most of all, hope is important." Then let the bad times roll for now, in the hopes that good times lie ahead.

2. Guerre Sous CouverturesNo matter how much everything changes in culture and the world at large, heavy metal endures. It empowers, engages, and engenders strength, ultimately it outlasts fads. The same can be said for Hammerfall. Since forming in Gothenburg, Sweden in 1993, the now quintet of Oscar Dronjak [guitar], Joacim Cans [vocals], Fredrik Larsson [bass], Pontus Norgen [guitar], and David Wallin [drums] have weathered the many storms of changing trends within the music world to stand tall as pioneers who continue to wave the flag of Heavy Metal.
In Hammerfall’s thirty-year career, the Swedish titans have topped album charts both in their home country as well as internationally, sold out tours, exceeded over 100 million streams and 100 million YouTube views and over 1.5 million albums sold, all while earning multiple Grammy nominations in Sweden, continuing to uphold this venerable legacy with each new release.
Having returned to their label home Nuclear Blast in late 2022, Hammerfall celebrated a career milestone when it was announced that Renegade, Crimson Thunder, No Sacrifice, No Victory and Chapter V: Unbent, Unbowed, Unbroken had all achieved gold status in Sweden. And stoking the flames higher - it was revealed that Crimson Thunder had surpassed 60,000 sales and hit Platinum status.
In 2023 the band celebrate the success of Crimson Thunder achieving Platinum status in Sweden, continuing their retrospective series, Hammerfall releases its very own 20-Year Anniversary edition. The fourth studio album has been remixed and remastered by Fredrik Nordstrom, this definitive version will include previously unreleased pre-production tracks a brand-new medley and live acoustic songs.
