Releases ‘Dead Revolution’ today worldwide via Metal Blade Records!

Today (July 22nd), West Coast progressive heavy metallers Hammers of Misfortune have released their sixth full-length, ‘Dead Revolution‘, worldwide via Metal Blade Records. To purchase the record in various formats, please visit: metalblade.com/hammersofmisfortune. To hear ‘Dead Revolution‘ in its entirety, head over to MetalSucks.net for the exclusive album stream: metalsucks.net

Recorded at Light Rail Studios in San Francisco, CA, ‘Dead Revolution‘ is more varied than its predecessor (2011’s acclaimed 17th Street), by using different tones, and delving into heavier, darker territory. With tracks like the stupendous ‘The Precipice’, the raging ‘Flying Alone’, and the riff-organ fest that is ‘Dead Revolution’, Hammers Of Misfortune have found a way to indulge their progressive and psychedelic tendencies while remaining decidedly metal. That’s not to say ‘Dead Revolution‘ is without its slow-burners: ‘Here Comes the Sky’ pivots off a Pink Floyd axis (think “A Pillow in the Wind”) – with its soft strums, careful vocal interplay, and delicate percussion – before diving into traditional heavy metal motifs. “Of course, every song stands out to me,” says principal songwriter and guitarist John Cobbett. “I’ve no idea how listeners will react to them. ‘The Velvet Inquisition’ is probably one of the most ambitious compositions we’ve ever recorded. I was trying some different writing methods and the results are…interesting. ‘Days of ’49’ is an attempt to repurpose an old traditional folk song, which is new for us.Hammers of Misfortune also enlisted Nick Dumitriu (Vhol, Ritual Chamber) to produce this record, utilizing a vintage Trident board and minimizing digital processing. The result is a warm, sharp sound that harkens back to productions like John Leckie’s treatment of Pink Floyd‘s Meddle or David Hitchcock’s master work in Camel‘s Mirage.

Dead Revolution‘ wurde in den Light Rail Studios in San Francisco eingespielt und klingt facettenreicher als sein Vorgänger (‘17th Street‘, 2011 allerorts hochgelobt), weil die Band unterschiedliche Stimmungen abdeckt und in finstereres, heavieres Terrain vorstößt. Tracks wie das atemberaubende “The Precipice”, das wütende “Flying Alone” oder das Riff-Orgel-Feuerwerk “Dead Revolution” beweisen, dass HAMMERS OF MISFORTUNE ein Gleichgewicht zwischen Härte und psychedelischen Anwandlungen gefunden haben, das eindeutig nach Metal klingt. Trotzdem enthält auch ‘Dead Revolution‘ bedächtigere Momente: “Here Comes the Sky” rotiert auf der Achse Pink Floyd (man denke an “A Pillow in the Wind”) – sanftes Zupfen, zurückhaltender Gesang und leises Percussionspiel -, bevor traditioneller Heavy Metal anklingt. “Klar ist für mich jeder Song etwas Besonderes“, sagt Hauptsongwriter und Gitarrist John Cobbett. “Ich habe keine Ahnung, wie die Hörer darauf reagieren werden. ‘The Velvet Inquisition’ ist wohl eine unserer ehrgeizigsten Kompositionen bisher. Ich habe andere Methoden beim Songwriting angewendet, und die Eergebnisse hören sich … interessant an. ‘Days of ’49’ markiert einen Versuch, einen alten Folk-Song aufzufrischen, was wir bisher noch nie probiert haben.HAMMERS OF MISFORTUNE haben Nick Dumitriu (Vhöl, Ritual Chamber) als Produzenten herangezogen, ein altes Trident-Mischpult benutzt und so den digitalen Anteil bei der Produktion der Scheibe minimiert. Dadurch erhielt sie einen warmen wie kraftvollen Sound, der an Produktionen von like John Leckie erinnert, etwas für Pink Floyd bzw. Meddle, oder an David Hitchcocks Meisterwerk – Camels Mirage – denken lässt.
