Hello Everybody.

I have decided to leave Hammerfall, the reason is that I have been offered a job as a pilot within an airline.
My interest in aviation has been growing very strong, and now I feel its time for me to take a step and be a pilot on a professional level.
We have been discussing the possibility of combining the work with HF and both me and the rest of the band realized that it would be very hard indeed.

It has been a great journey with lots of great memories that I will carry with me for the rest of my life, I would like to give a big thanks to all the wonderful fans, its has truly been a pleasure to meet and perform for you all during these 11 years.

I still love to play the guitar so you might hear from me again someday somehow.

I would like to wish who ever is taking my place and the rest of the band good luck in the future.

Take care everybody!!

Stefan Elmgren

Stefan, you are so great, so talented.. This makes me extremely sad.. What an enormous loss for HF. You will be missed.
Good luck with your future, that's all I can say for now. This ruined my day.
much love and take care.

I thought if one of the guys from iron maiden died, that would be the worst thing,
but this is equally bad, for all the metal fans in the world
Good luck stefan,

Glory to the brave!

Damn thats awesome about your aviation job but I really don't think there is going to be anyone able to take up your place, you have some HUGE shoes to fill! Been a fan since 2004 but will carry on thru thick and thin!!! Good luck to you Stefan and to all of Hammerfall and hope you carry on as the Gods of rock as you were ment to be.

I hoped this was a joke. But it is not. You was one of the greatest guitarist I ever heard and you got to know that it is all up to you.

Hope someone is worthy enough to take your place.

Thanks for those years you played in HammerFall.

Well, you must do, what you want to do... I think.
I know people who have changed the remarkable work for another things... though it does not bring them money or glory. The main thing is to do that is interesting to you. And nobody has the rights to solve for you, what to do. You are a very professional guitarist, and I wish you to reach professionalism in a new job! Success!

As a fan I'm disappointed but I'm glad Stefan has decided to follow his dreams. Finding a worthy replacement to fill his shoes probably won't be easy for HF. But who knows....maybe they'll hire a guitar god like former Sonata Arctica guitarist Jani Liimatainen to replace him. That would kick ass! Anyway, best of luck to Stefan and thanks for all the metal memories he has given us over the years. SHRED ON!

This is news that catches one off guard. But nothing can be shared within in it, but respect. Hammerfall is a great band. Stefan is a great guitarist. Good look. I have been listening to Hammerfall for years and I hate to see Stefan go, but Metal Hearts do what they please don't they? Best wishes to you Stefan and to Hammerfall. Hearts on Fire! Long live the Templars of Steel!

I was truely horrified to read this! Stefan's work with the guitar is something to admire, something inspiring, filling me with strong feelings, and now you say it's over!? It's hard to accept, but I wish you good luck as a pilot and I'm really sorry I did not and perhaps will bot have the chance to see live, at least not on stage... The Unbowed now bow to you!! Best wishes :(
