Hammer King Release Second Single & Video King For A Day
Germany’s heavy/power metal monarchs HAMMER KING proudly present their second single, “King For A Day”, taken from the upcoming album “Make Metal Royal Again”, set to be released worldwide on August 15th, 2025 via Reaper Entertainment.
“King For A Day” is an uplifting and high-octane anthem that fuses pounding riffs, commanding vocals, and soaring orchestration into a true royal proclamation. Its message is powerful: Anyone can be king – whether for a day or a lifetime. It's about taking control of your own destiny, becoming the best version of yourself, and living life to the fullest.
Musically, the song is classic HAMMER KING – powerful, triumphant, and energetic – elevated by dramatic orchestral arrangements from renowned producer and composer Joost van den Broek (Ayreon, Powerwolf, Epica). This track hits like a ton of bricks and turns every stage into a roaring battlefield!
The band comments:
“King For A Day is a very positive song! It says that we all can be King – be it for a day or for a lifetime. Everyone has got what it takes, but everyone is responsible for turning oneself into the best version ever. Live your life to the fullest, give it everything you got – and be King!
Musically, it is a very energetic, ultra-powerful HAMMER KING anthem, enhanced with orchestral elements by Ayreon’s Joost van den Broek. It will hit you like a ton of bricks and it will turn any audience into a sheer inferno!”
The new album “Make Metal Royal Again” drops on August 15th, 2025 and includes 10 brand new tracks plus a bonus song exclusive to the limited digipak edition. Pre-orders are live now via the band’s official store – available on CD, vinyl, and as a deluxe boxset:
