Cans

Joacim Cans is a member of the band Hammerfall, born in the town of Mora, Sweden, in February 1970. In 1996, Mikael Stanne, singer of the power speed metal band Hammerfall, was unable to go on stage with the band during the semi-finals of Rockslaget. The band then had to find a replacement. Through mutual friends, the band got in touch with Joacim Cans, who agreed to play with the band for the evening. The concert was a success, but the judges did not grant Hammerfall access to the final. At the end of the day, Joacim was accepted as an official member of the band. In 2004, he decided to release a solo album, still in the Hammerfall vein, with, among others, Snowy Shaw on drums and some tracks written by Jeff Waters.
