"Nos da vergüenza", confirmó el bateria de la banda de Gotemburgo, Anders Johansson, de acuerdo con una información en el diario Expressen.
Johansson admitió que habían consumido gran cantidad de cerveza cuando él y el guitarrista Oscar Dronjak decidieron aplicar algunas de sus técnicas de taekwondo sobre el mobiliario del hotel.
Dronjak se hirió a sí mismo cuando trató de "agredir" a headbutt un objeto inanimado de la habitación del hotel.
"Su cabeza se ve horrible. Tenemos la esperanza de que será capaz de cubrir todo. En Praga (esta tarde) el espectáculo será grabado. Él está muy avergonzado por ello ahora", dice Anders Johansson.
Peter Vinthagen Simpson of The Local reports that Swedish metallers HAMMERFALL have admitted to smashing up a Vienna hotel room on their European tour.
"We are ashamed," confirmed the Gothenburg band's drummer Anders Johansson, according to a report in the newspaper Expressen.
The band was partying at the Hotel Fürstenhof in the Austrian capital Vienna when things got a little out of hand.
Johansson admitted that a large quantity of beer had been consumed when he and guitarist Oscar Dronjak decided to show off some of their taekwondo moves on the hotel's furniture.
Dronjak reportedly injured himself when he tried to headbutt an offending inanimate object in the hotel room.
"His head now looks awful. We are hoping he will be able to cover it up. In Prague (this evening) the show is going to be recorded. He is very ashamed at the moment," Anders Johansson said.

"We are ashamed," confirmed the Gothenburg band's drummer Anders Johansson according to a report in the newspaper Expressen.
The band were partying at the Hotel Fürstenhof in the Austrian capital Vienna when things got a little out of hand.
Johansson admitted that a large quantity of beer had been drunk when he and guitarist Oscar Dronjak decided to show off some of their taekwondo moves on the hotel's furniture.
Dronjak reportedly injured himself when he tried to headbutt an offending inanimate object in the hotel room.
"His head now looks awful. We are hoping he will be able to cover it up. In Prague (this evening) the show is going to be recorded. He is very ashamed at the moment," Anders Johansson said.
Not satisfied with having destroyed all the contents of the hotel room, the pair also located the hotel's fuse-box and caused an extended power cut, which caused panic in the hotel.
The Hotel Fürstenhof is reported to be unwilling to comment on the incident. The band have confirmed that they have been served with a €1,300 ($1,720) bill for their evening of destruction.
Hammarfall is a heavy metal/power metal band with members originating from Gothenburg, Mora and Mölndal. They were formed in 1993 by ex-Ceremonial Oath guitarist Oscar Dronjak.
They have released seven studio albums with the latest offering entitled "No Sacrifice, No Victory" in February 2009.
