Vocalist/Guitarist Titan comments:
“Aderlass; The Blood Of Sacrifice” – how old-school can a riff be? When we first played the riff that the King gave us at Castle Rockfort we knew that this was a battle song. When you hear the huge chorus you stand on a battlefield.
We love the idea of calling a battle “blood letting”, but the German word “Aderlass” is so much more radical, like the Germans! This song was great before we went into the studio – and it got amazing when we recorded it.
Hammer King represent the perfect, balanced heavy sound of the German power metal tradition, highlighted by the right dose of epic tones. The music moves around the figure of singer/guitarist/composer Titan Fox (Ross The Boss’ singer). The line-up is completed by former Saltatio Mortis drummer Dolph A. Macallan, K.K. Basement on bass and Gino Wilde on guitar. All the musicians involved in this band have an aged and trained background in metal music, as demonstrated through the masterful Kingdom of the Hammer King!
Kingdom Of The Hammer King was recorded and produced at the Greywolf Studios by Powerwolf’s own Charles Greywolf The cover artwork was created by German Artist Timo Würz who was able to capture with his art the essence and power of the band. The LP version will include a bonus track “Leather Indians (of Steel).”
