A husband and a wife from Transylvania County, North Carolina that meander through heavy metal, doom, goth rock and retro-ized horror punk in all its gritty glory: BLOODY HAMMERS. Since their formation in 2010, vocalist/guitarist/bassist Anders Manga and organist/pianist Devallia create fascinating tunes full of horror and creepy melodies, ready to haunt the listeners right away.
"Songs Of Unspeakable Terror" – explores territory yet uncharted by the band: retro-ized horror punk in all its gritty glory. This beastly follow-up to the band’s standout 2019 full-length "The Summoning" shouldn’t be confused as an all new direction for the band, however. These songs are a pandemic lockdown labor of love, a temporary foray into the unknown, while still remaining true to the BLOODY HAMMERS trademark. At the start of 2020, having just released a new album under his darkwave solo project, vocalist/guitarist/bassist Anders Manga was about to head out on tour when COVID-19 hit.
Soon locked in their house under the country’s strict stay-at-home orders, Manga and his bride and bandmate, organist/pianist Devallia, spent time jamming in their basement and revisiting some of their classic punk favorites from up north – THE MISFITS, PLASMATICS, THE CRAMPS and VOLUPTUOUS HORROR of Karen Black, to name a few. Holed up and barred from the uncertainty of the world, BLOODY HAMMERS churned out 11 new raw-power tracks inspired by these greats, and now, they’re unearthed… from the grave!
Today's tune is the trudging, metallic terror "Hands Of The Ripper" taken from the album "Songs Of Unspeakable Terror", released on January 15, 2021 via Napalm Records, enjoy!
