New Jersey thrash n' roll devils HAMMER FIGHT will release their debut full-length album, “Chug of War”, on November 12th via Horror Gore Pain Death Productions.
“Chug of War”, which follows the band's 2011 self-titled EP, was recorded by Bobby Torres at The Machine Shop in Belleville, NJ. Artwork for the album came from a collaboration between Hammer Fight bassist/vocalist Drew Murphy and Buz Hasson, tattoo artist and co-creator of the comic book The Living Corpse.
Guitarist Todd Stern comments on “Chug of War”: "It's something we've all been looking forward to putting out forever. A record that isn't here to compete sonically with the current state of metal affairs. Rather than taking a crack at being the heaviest, the darkest, or the fastest... we aimed for a record that would serve as the catalyst that helps transform your boring day into a good fucking time. Listen loud, rock hard, and have FUN kids. That's what counts most..."
This initial release will be limited to only 500 copies. Pre-orders for the CD and a CD + t-shirt bundle are available from the band's web store at: hammerfight.bigcartel.com.
Horror Gore Pain Death Productions is also offering pre-orders here.
