Swedes paint it black
Though the band emerged from Sweden in the late ’90s, HammerFall plays the kind of metal any longtime S.A. rocker with a closet full of black concert T’s can relate to: melodic and dramatic, with twin guitar solos and Joacim Cans’ glass-shattering high notes. Last year, the band released a 20th anniversary edition of its album “Glory to the Brave.” 8 p.m. today, The Rock Box, 1223 E. Houston St. $31. therockboxsa.com
