(BW&BK) Pontus Norgren from THE POODLES will be replacing Stefan Elmgren, who left HAMMERFALL in early April to focus on his new career as a pilot "Pontus is a fantastic guitar player with musical roots in ACCEPT and neo-classical metal," comments drummer Anders Johansson. "I have know him for many years, I know how he works as a musician and as a person." On June 27 via Nuclear Blast Germany, two new HAMMERFALL releases will see the light of day: a DVD - continuing chronicling the band's career - and a cover CD - a collection of all the covers recorded by HF to date plus three new, unreleased ones. Incidentally, this will be guitarist Stefan Elmgren's last release with HammerFall. Detailed information follows: Rebels With A Cause - Unruly, Unrestrained, Uninhibited (DVD): "The DVD will be a continuation of the previous two (The First Crusade and The Templar/Renegade Crusades) and contain newly recorded interviews with the band interspersed with footage from their own cameras. The time span is six years, from the beginning of 2002 til the end of 2007, and it's edited together as a documentary of sorts, i.e. one continuous film, but of course with chapters. - more on this story
