Bloody Hammers - The Summoning (2019)

Is it Halloween yet? Silly question, it's Halloween all year round for Bloody Hammers! The U.S. duo has prepared a wonderfully creepy horror musical experience that pays homage to classic flicks such as "Let Sleeping Corpses Lie" (1974) and "Now The Screaming Starts" (1973). Bloody Hammers' idea of a soundtrack for your favorite video nasties holds some surprises on their fifth album. Frontman Anders Manga infused the new album tracks with epic metal and hard rock nuances. But don't fret, the lumbering doom riffs deliver massive doses of goth rock, and Devallia's psychedelic keyboards (just check out the hypnotic "The Beast Is Coming Out"!) are present ever-still, and turn their latest effort The Summoning into a well-balanced, lush and highly infectious affair."Bloody Hammers revamp(ire) their sound with full tilt anthemic goth 'n' roll!" ~ Loudwire"Bloody Hammers recall gothic metal's morose beginnings and The Summoning is a true moment of reckoning for their tales of terror." ~ The Obelisk"Bloody Hammers is back like an adrenalized "Stranger Things" laced with occultist tendencies and epic melancholy."
