Clawing Into Black Sun

by WOLVHAMMER

FLESH MECHANIC
Clawing Into Black Sun is a wonderful example of atmospheric post-sludge that is insanely heavy, yet dons that strange, otherworldly sense for mysterious atmosphere. Best way to describe the sound is if you combine the best parts of Crowbar and Isis, you'll get Wolvhammer. Closing song on this album is an epic masterpiece.
Favorite track: A Light That Doesn't Yield.

Craig Collins driving, sludgy, blackened, raw, powerful. just a great album altogeher. Favorite track: Clawing Into Black Sun.

𝔩𝔬𝔲𝔡-𝔮𝔲𝔦𝔢𝔱-𝔩𝔬𝔲𝔡 𝓣here's ne'er a superfluous nanosecond to be found on Wolvhammer's gloriously wicked blackened sludge manifesto. Demonic incursion strategies salvaged from the gravitational collapse of the morning star. Favorite track: In Reverence.

Travis Taylor Great album so far!

about

Minneapolis/Chicago metal band WOLVHAMMER have morphed into quite the killing machine over the years of self-infliction, abuse, and debauchery. With their new third full-length album, “Clawing Into Black Sun”, WOLVHAMMER (the core of the band consisting of vocalist Adam Clemans, guitarist Jeff Wilson, and drummer Heath Rave) have easily created their best work yet where their volatile amalgamation of black metal, deathrock, and punk has reached a new level of, dare we say maturity. Said term used loosely, but with “Clawing Into Black Sun”, WOLVHAMMER’s musical development has grown immensely, honed with a new sense of focus since their vicious and acclaimed “Obsidian Plains” album from 2011.

With the band planning on many live assaults in support of “Clawing Into Black Sun” (with the band’s last tour run seeing them on a successful run supporting Black Dahlia Murder and Skeletonwitch), the new WOLVHAMMER album will lend a new awareness to the band and see them become even more recognized with their most punishing and accomplished offering yet.

I am not even sure where to begin with an album like Roads To The North. Although probably not intended as such, I always got the feel of something like "Western Metal". But regardless, the drums and riffs are unique, and each have just a sound and feel that I can't quite describe. This is absolutely an album that you just need to hear in order to understand. Roads To The North is an absolute gem. Wound of Briccius

Remember in the 1930s when the sheriff and the mine owners conspired to kill strikers in Harlan county to break the strike? I'm sure Panopticon remembers. fartykannon
