Some words about WOLVHAMMER

WOLVHAMMER - The Obsidian Plains (Profound Lore)

Bleak, moody blackened metal from a bunch of tattooed Midwestern miscreants that chose to bury their filthy rock’n’roll swagger beneath layers of cold, grim, distortion and desolate doom. Wolvhammer have progressed past their primal sludge/black metal hybrid of their first couple releases, and reached an (un)happy balance between the heavy and the hateful. Their jump to Profound Lore was richly deserved, and will hopefully expose their particular mutated strain of black magic to a broader audience.
