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.
Regal madness on tour – and in spirit HAMMER KING stand for a singular vision: Heavy Metal as a royal show of power. Their live shows are as theatrical as they are tight, supported by a self-designed royal entourage and their own currency — the “Welcome Gold”, handed directly to fans on tour. Every performance is a coronation, and every venue becomes royal territory. Founded in 2015 by charismatic frontman Titan Fox V, HAMMER KING have steadily grown from underground heroes to a staple in the European metal scene — earning chart placements in Germany and building a loyal fanbase known as the Hammer Heroes. With label partner Reaper Entertainment at their side, multiple tours alongside acts like Warkings and Dominum, and an ever-growing following, the band is poised to take the next leap forward. The band on their new album: “‘Make Metal Royal Again’ isn’t just a motto – it’s our manifesto. This album is the result of over a year of intense work, unforgettable touring experiences, and a crystal-clear vision: to restore majesty, dignity, and brilliance to metal.” – Titan Fox V Artwork & Aesthetics The striking cover artwork was once again created by Péter Sallai (Powerwolf, Sabaton) and is inspired by The Last Supper. It portrays the band and their followers in a lavish, dramatic setting — a symbolic image that captures the album’s core themes: power, identity, and loyalty.
