Hammers Of Misfortune - Fields/Church Of Broken Glass
Heralded art metal contingent HAMMERS OF MISFORTUNE has completed their new album, or more like two new albums that will be presented as one package. Almost like, as the band say, a split with themselves.
With one entitled “Fields” and the other album entitled “Church Of Broken Glass,” both albums, while joined at the spine, will be distinct from each other musically, conceptually, aesthetically, and even have different artwork and logos.
What will be Hammers’ most challenging offerings yet, “Fields” and “Church Of Broken Glass” are unlike anything Hammers mastermind John Cobbett has presented before with his brainchild. What will easily present itself as the most complex, different, and unique Hammers material yet, both albums present a much more vintage sound, with the ‘70s prog-rock influence making it’s presence felt like never before, all while manifesting influences from classic rock to classic metal to theater metal and through a wide spectrum of ultra-progressive musical fervor.
The different sound and approach Cobbett took on creating the new albums was also of course because of the new members within the Hammers fold; namely new (male) vocalist/guitarist Patrick Goodwin and new (female) vocalist Jesse Quattro who bring a new voice to the Hammers sound. While Goodwin brings a more classic rock-like approach to the band than his predecessor (namely Mike Scalzi of SLOUGH FEG fame), Quattro comes in as the most prominent female Hammers vocalist yet.
Here is the tracklisting for “Church Of Broken Glass”:
1. Almost (Left Without You)
2. Butchertown
3. The Gulls
4. Church Of Broken Glass
5. Train
And for “Fields”:
1. The Fields Trilogy: a) Agriculture, b) Fields, c) Motorcade
2. Rats Assembly
3. Always Looking Down
4. Too Soon
Look for "Church Of Broken Glass" and "Fields" to be released as a double CD via Profound Lore Records late October. The vinyl will be handled by 20 Buck Spin.

New Black Boned Angel CD & Trees LP Out Now
Lots of news to start August. First two new releases are available exclusively through the 20 Buck Spin website. Black Boned Angel’s new CD “The Endless Coming Into Life” and the limited LP version of Trees “Light’s Bane”. These are released officially on August 26th of this year but are available now direct. MP3 samples from both albums are up at 20buckspin.com as well as myspace.com/20buckspin
Black Boned Angel “The Endless Coming Into Life” Digipak CD
Campbell Kneale, of prolific one-man bliss drone project Birchville Cat Motel, returns to his metallic alter-ego Black Boned Angel.
Both projects chase a similar idea from different ends of the spectrum. The Endless Coming Into Life is Kneale's third full-length release as Black Boned Angel (in addition to a slew of CDR EPs), all released by 20 Buck Spin. This work is perhaps Kneale's most obvious combination of the extreme minimalism of his ambient tendencies and the extreme maximalism of his forays into the center of the subterranean metal guitar riff. The album first lulls one into a meditative state of relative calm before plummeting into the chasm created by the vibrations of a single, snarling riff so heavy it could rip a hole in the heavens.
Consisting of a sole one-hour track, The Endless Coming Into Life sits comfortably alongside the darker end of Kneale's ever-growing catalog of work dedicated to finding the light (or dark) source of the universal drone.
In honor of the new Black Boned Angel release we are also offering it together with the previous BBA release “Bliss & Void Inseperable” at a discounted rate. Visit the site for more info.
Trees “Light’s Bane” LP (limited to 500, 400 black, 100 white)
The darkened sky and rain-soaked soil of Portland, Oregon, gave birth to the sickly black doom of Trees. Their two-track debut is a shivering trudge through murky, thick, sub-bass sludge riffs with an occasional beat or two.
Recalling the early days of Sub Pop-era Earth and the diseased doom of Burning Witch, Trees continue in the fine tradition of low-end wreckage that the Pacific Northwest seems to breed in its purest (de)form. With a vocalist who terrifies with his depraved screams and oral exorcisms, Trees create an atmosphere of psychic terror, like an acid trip gone horribly awry. The members of the band are all long-time adherents to the art of the slow-motion concussion; some sharing time in Portland drone wizards Tecumseh.
This vinyl version of Light's Bane is strictly limited to a one-time pressing of only 500 copies. 100 copies have been pressed on white vinyl, 80 of which are available from 20 Buck Spin.
We have set a late October release date for the debut album from Lawrence’s Kansas’ Samothrace. The album is called “Life’s Trade” and will be released on CD and 2xLP. As always the LP will include a poster in all editions and a limited mailorder version will include colored vinyl. The band will embark on a 70 date US tour starting in early September and continuing into November. The album was recorded by Sanford Parker and has new artwork from our comrade David D’Andrea. A track from the forthcoming album “Awkward Hearts” has been put up on the 20 Buck Spin myspace page at myspace.com/20buckspin. As per usual the album will be available through 20 Buck Spin and on tour prior to its official release date.
Book Of Black Earth will be embarking on a month long North American tour in October opening for Sweden’s Watain. Withered will also support. The band’s new album “Horoskopus” will be released via Prosthetic Records around that time. The debut album on 20 Buck Spin “The Feast” will be repressed in time for the tour.
We’ve got a master for the new Hammer’s Of Misfortune 2xLP now, an album the band wrote specifically for the 2xLP format as two distinct albums. Artwork is nearly done for the gatefold and we’re looking at a late October / early November release for that. Expect heavy metal theater of the highest order. The CD will be handled by Profound Lore.
The Endless Blockade are currently in the midst of a Canadian tour. Apart from a few local shows the band has no more tour plans in 2008 and will concentrate on writing new material for an upcoming 12 inch for 20 Buck Spin and a collaborative album with Bastard Noise of which a CD will be released by 20 Buck Spin and an LP by Fatalist.
We’re also pleased to announce we’ll be releasing a CD before the end of the year from obscure Boise, Idaho duo Pussygutt. The CD is a 45 minute long piece lying somewhere in the deep black void between SUNN and Philip Glass. The band continues to play shows in and around the Pacific Northwest. More info can be found at pussygutt.com
Finally some new additions to the mailorder:
Swedish Death Metal – The Book
Cobalt – Landfill Breastmilk Beast
Gates Of Slumber – Conqueror
Krallice – Krallice
Wold - Stratification
