〕 |rev2 = AllMusic |rev2score = }} ''Infected'' is the eighth studio album by the band HammerFall and was released on May 20, 2011, in Europe and June 7 of that same year in North America. It was their first album produced by James Michael and the HammerFall guitarists Oscar Dronjak and Pontus Norgren. To promote the record, the song "One More Time" was released as the first official single on April 6, 2011. On April 8, 2011, Nuclear Blast Records released a limited edition picture 7" version of the single "One More Time"; the vinyl was limited to 500 copies.〔 The album entered the Swedish charts at number two. The album's second single ''Send Me a Sign'' was released on May 6, 2011 with two tracks: "Send Me a Sign" and "Send Me A Sign (Instrumental)".〔http://www.metal-archives.com/albums/HammerFall/Send_Me_a_Sign/306162〕 The album's third single ''B.Y.H'' was released on August 23, 2011 and it has two tracks: "B.Y.H." and "Hol van a szó (Send Me A Sign - Hungarian Version)".〔http://www.metal-archives.com/albums/HammerFall/B.Y.H./314822〕 ==Album cover disputes== The original album cover was supposed to be grey with a black biological hazard symbol,〔http://www.blabbermouth.net/news/hammerfall-singer-doesn-t-understand-how-biohazard-could-copyright-biological-hazard-symbol/〕 but after considering legal actions and negative reception they decided to change it; the biohazard logo was replaced by a bloody hand. It was the first Hammerfall album cover not to feature the band's mascot, "Hector". Many fans were displeased at the removal of Hector, and had seen it as a sign that HammerFall were possibly moving away from their traditional power metal sound.〔 However, Hector does appear on the "Send Me a Sign" single from the album and the artist Samwise Didier even provides backup vocals on the main album, so this indicates that fans have not seen the last of the chivalrous mascot. The bass guitarist Fredrik Larsson commented on a live chat on the official Nuclear Blast Records website that it is not the end of Hector and he will be featured on future records and merchandise. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Infected (HammerFall album)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
