Where this album fits

Career context
By the time 'Infected' was released in 2011, HammerFall was well-established as a leading band in the power metal scene, following their earlier successes like 'Crimson Thunder' (2002). This album came after a brief hiatus and marked a return to form as they sought to recapture the energy that made them prominent in the late '90s and early 2000s. Coming off a series of successful albums, HammerFall aimed to reaffirm their legacy with this release.
