Hammer King - Hammer King (2021) Hi-Res

In the name of thy hammer, and thy king, arise! German power metallers, Hammer King, will drop their brand new self-titled record June 11 via Napalm Records. In case you’re not familiar with Hammer King, the band consists of former Ross The Boss vocalist Titan Fox V, former Saltatio Mortis drummer Dolph A. Macallan, with Gladius Thundersword on bass and Kleveland’s most timeless lead guitarist, the one, the only Gino Wilde shredding riffs.
Hammer King is the fourth record from this band, and what a rager it is, explaining the myth and story behind the mighty Hammer King, a wrathful and mighty war god the band is named after.
Hammer King is 11 tracks of raging power metal with a fantasy edge to it, and anyone who is familiar with this genre surely knows that power metal of this type is a tough one to pull off. If the fantasy element does not work, or you tread too far in that direction, you run the risk of appearing cartoonish. If treading that fine line is not tricky enough, the music must be spot on. Fear not, Hammer king rocks!
