Hammerforce is independent Power/Progressive Synth Driven Metal band from Saint-Petersburg, Russia. It released 2 full length albums: "Dice" (2009) and "Access Denied" (2013). Band's music is unconventional mixture of solid guitar riffs, impressive Electro/Trance synths, high-pitched Heavy Metal vocals and sudden Progressive interludes, all performed and recorded on the highest production level.
The story began in 2006 when Nikita Merzlyakov and Ilya Kapralov after playing for several years in local live Power/Prog Metal band Legioner decided to bring their music to the new level. The main idea was to show that guys from Russia can record good Metal album. It was a hard quest. Lots of obstacles were gotten over: misunderstanding of people, lack of equipment, time, money and information.
Finally in 2009 first full length Hammerforce’s album “Dice” was released. It was the moment of glory. But time passed, gigs were played, and there wasn't much progress due to weak promotion, bad situation with Metal in Russia and controversies inside the band which grew day by day and ended up with parting with vocalist Nikita Valamin. It was sad situation but it was the only way for both sides. The band gave up playing live and after some time of depression Ilya Kapralov and Nikita Merzlyakov started to work on material for the new album joined by vocalist Dmitriy “Ian Breeg” Yanovskiy.
The idea of the new album was not only to show that Hammerforce can record even better album but also make people think more about their lives, society and make it all better. That’s why all the lyrics on “Access Denied” were devoted to modern social problems. Why to sing about dragons or devil when you can focus your efforts on helping real world to get better? Nikita decided to produce, record, mix and master second album by himself at his private studio as his sound production abilities had increased significantly since the first album. This approach helped to get even better results, precisely control every aspect of recording, give no compromise to third party producers and sound engineers and make album sounding exactly as band wanted it to sound.
After a long hardworking time and many problems left behind the second album “Access Denied” was released on 27th of March, 2013. It is available on CD through band’s official Bandcamp (http://hammerforce.bandcamp.com) as well as digital download from iTunes, Amazon, CDBaby and other major sites.
Now the band is working on version of “Access Denied” with Russian lyrics written by Kate Sergeeva. Also instrumental (Karaoke) version is going to be released. Work on new material for the third album has already begun as well.

Hammerforce Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Your god sleeps
When you refuse to follow him
Your god weeps
No one can understand
What you stand for
When you face pink-minded world
You're surrounded by the silly sheep that can't
Understand your single word
Love in fashion, loneliness is left for freaks
And you're being called the one
They all dream only of looking good, and you think
If I only had a gun
Chorus:
Restless beat inside your head
So, survivor, dream is dead
Childhood's gone, you're left alone
Childhood's gone, and dream is gone
No one can understand
What you live for
What's your final aim
Will you win the game
And achieve the fame
Or will you die alone
Will you turn to stone
When your time is gone
Repeat chorus
No one can understand
What you'll die for
The song Pink-Minded World by Hammerforce speaks about the isolation and loneliness that individuals experience in society when their beliefs, values, and aims differ from that of the rest of society. The opening lines suggest that sometimes when individuals are lost or going through difficult times, God or someone they rely on may not be there, but society with all its pressures and judgments is always present. The singer tells us that no one can understand what an individual stands for and what their final aim is.
The song goes on to speak about suffocation, being surrounded by individuals who want to be in trend and do not understand the person. Society calls the person "freak," and they dream only of looking good. This relates to the idea of pink-mindedness, which means narrow-mindedness or lack of willingness to think beyond the superficial. The singer believes that the loneliness is only left for the "freaks," which means that people with deep insight or different ideas are considered outcasts in society. The chorus highlights the feelings of loneliness, frustration, and disillusionment that individuals feel when faced with such kinds of situations.
In conclusion, the song Pink-Minded World by Hammerforce comments on social issues that individuals face in society that is often not addressed. The lyrics suggest that individuals with different opinions or deep insight into matters are ostracized by society. The song reflects the ideas of how individuals feel when faced with such situations, leading to frustration, loneliness, and disillusionment.
