Jens playing with Hammerfall?

On Hammerfall's "Masterpieces" (a cover album released in 2008) it sounds like Jens is doing the keyboard parts, but I can't find any info on this.

Is it Jens, or a keyboard player influenced by him playing on the song?

Well, there were like 3 songs recorded especially for this album, but all the others were recorded from 1997 to 2007 throughout the band's carrere.

Jens played the keyboard solos for the song Rising Force.

He played on the last album too, and he recorded his parts in Timo Kotipelto's kitchen :lol:

Now that's surprising. :roll:

I actually have it as a bonus track on my copy of Crimson Thunder. Always wandered if it was Jens... I recognized him in Aina, Star One and heck, even on Sonata's The Cage, before I even knew he played in each of those... :D

Speaking of Aina, that starting song of the "opera" is perfect on paper for me. Kiske vocals, Damian Wilson vocals, Jens on the keyboard, bass leads... It's a disappointing song even though it has so many world's greatest power metal elements in it. :D

So wish there were another Aina!!!

Many mountains we have climbed
But all the bad times are behind
