Any HAMMERS OF MISFORTUNE fans on this board?

[Iced Ray]

Just curious, if anyone here digs this band and if you do, what are your opinions on the new album?

I just recently got the August Engine and I like it alot.

New album is great!!

I am a recent Hammers fan. I bought Locust Years first and then August Engine. Right now, Locust Years is just owning my CD players! This will likely be me #1 disc for the year.

I like The August Engine a bit more, but the new one is still an incredibly creative album, and the title track rules all.

Of their 3 albums, I listen to August Engine the most, but I admire The Bastard more than that. Locust Years will push continuously into my ipod playlist for a good long while.

I'd like to hear the Unholy Cadaver demo

August Engine = probably one of the top 5 albums of all time (and I've been listening to metal since 1984)

The Bastard = utter genius

Locust Years = very excellent

Overall, the band is outstanding - you could write a thesis on their music (and some people have tried, haha). The fact that they can't be categorized has to be a good thing. Nothing derivative about them.

I welcome that idea, Jay

I have the locust years, its not that great actually. the first few songs are good. but the rest of the album is mediocre IMO. very unique band though

I'll PM you.

The BAstard= is such an amazing original peice of work....Its my fave out of all 3..They bring alot of male/female interludes that are missing from there other 2..LOst of hooky melodies as well....THey rule

The only drawback with The Bastard for me is that it's not quite as consistent as The August Engine, but yes, it probably has some of their best songs.
