Just in time for Halloween, one of my favorite bands, the horror-occult-goth metal/rock fusers Bloody Hammers have announced a new horror punk-inspired full-length album!
Entitled Songs of Unspeakable Terror, the 11-track offering will be unleashed on January 15th, 2021 via Napalm Records and marks a new, eccentric chapter in the Transylvania County, North Carolina-based husband and wife duo’s musical story.
I'm a huge fan of Bloody Hammers' previous studio effort, The Summoning, and even named it one of my top metal albums of the year for 2019, so to say I'm excited about Songs of Unspeakable Terror is a massive understatement!
The press release details, "While it doesn’t stray too dangerously far from the sound listeners have grown to infectiously adore, the band’s latest full-length explores yet uncharted territory: retro-ized horror punk in all its gritty glory. This beastly record shouldn’t be confused as an all new direction for the band, though – these songs are a pandemic lockdown labor of love, a temporary foray into the unknown, while still remaining true to the Bloody Hammers sonic trademark."
Songs of Unspeakable Terror will be available in the following formats:
CD Jewelcase
LP Gatefold Black
LP Gatefold Red/Black Split-Splatter (limited to 100, European Napalm Mailorder Only)
Deluxe Vinyl Edition: LP Gatefold Red + 2 Patches - (limited to 100, North American Napalm Mailorder Only)
Digital Album
You can pre-order now via Napalm Records. Also, Bloody Hammers are taking pre-orders for a limited 100 signed black vinyl records and 50 signed CDs direct from the band. (USA orders only!) over on their Bandcamp page.
You can get a first listen for yourself below, as the band has today unveiled an inventive new music video for their first single, "A Night To Dismember" – a dark, swinging, hefty punk two-stepper with an earworm chorus that’ll have fans chanting along in no time.
