With already a decent pedigree within the U.S. underground black metal scene that involves such likeminded heathens as Nachtmystium, Cobalt, Ludicra (RIP), Withered etc. WOLVHAMMER are set to elevate their pillaging to a whole new level with “The Obsidian Plains”.
Known for combining such genres as black metal (of the Darkthrone, Craft, old Celtic Frost/Hellhammer vibe), punk, crust, doom and epic blackened-like sludge, with “The Obsidian Plains” (which was produced and recorded by Sanford Parker) WOLVHAMMER are going to make an impact with the subtlety of a vicious sledgehammer blow to the head. An album much more epic, crushing, and overall more encompassing than their debut. With several shifts in the band’s line-up since their inception, the band look to make even more of a statement with their latest solidified lineup, which now includes ex-Nachtmystium guitarist Jeff Wilson.
To officially be released on Oct 25th and featuring photography by Jimmy Hubbard, tracklisting for “The Obsidian Plains” goes as follows:
1. The Gleaming
3. Bones Of The Pious
4. Ghosts In The Water
6. A Defiled Aesthetic
7. The Sentinels
An MP3 of the track ‘Writhe’ can now be heard HERE
