===''(r)Evolution'' and ''Built to Last'' (2014–2017)=== [[File:Hammerfall – Wacken Open Air 2014 00.jpg|thumb|upright=1.25|HammerFall at [[Wacken Open Air]] 2014]] HammerFall once again reunited with producer Fredrik Nordström. The vocals were recorded by James Michael. For the mix, Fredrik Nordström spent 3 weeks in his own Studio. [[(r)Evolution]] was released on 29 August 2014, and stormed the charts worldwide, debuting on #1 in Sweden and on the Billboard Heatseekers Chart, as well as reaching Top 5 in several other countries. The subsequent tour, dubbed the World Wide (r)Evolution 2014-15, will see HammerFall return to Latin America together with Edguy and Gotthard, followed by a full European assasult in the beginning of 2015. The band was somewhat distraught when drummer Anders Johansson left shortly after the release of (r)Evolution, but David Wallin (Pain) was brought in as a temporary replacement to ensure that the show would go on. Around the same time, it was also decided that Fredrik would be on parental leave from September 2014 through March 2015. Former guitar player Stefan Elmgren stepped in handled the 4-string duties during that period, making this line-up a unique experience during the Latin American and European tour. In March 2016, the band announced that they had signed with Napalm Records. Their tenth studio album, ''[[Built to Last (HammerFall album)|Built to Last]]'', was released on 4 November 2016.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.blabbermouth.net/news/hammerfall-signs-with-napalm-records-new-album-due-in-november/|title=HAMMERFALL Signs With NAPALM RECORDS; New Album Due In November|date=7 March 2016|publisher=Blabbermouth.net|access-date=7 March 2016}}</ref> On 16 December 2016, David Wallin resigned from the band to focus on his family, and the same day the band introduced their new drummer Johan Koleberg.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.blabbermouth.net/news/hammerfall-parts-ways-with-drummer-david-wallin-announces-replacement/|title=HAMMERFALL Parts Ways With Drummer DAVID WALLIN, Announces Replacement|date=16 December 2016|website=blabbermouth.net|access-date=13 July 2017}}</ref> On 2 September 2017, it was announced that David Wallin's family related issues had been resolved and that he was reinstated into the band.
