Formed in Cleveland, Ohio by J. Hammer in 2013 as Schizoid Hammer (2013-2015) as a strictly solo endeavor, Hammr has released a 5 track EP,  Hammr EP in 2015, and a one song demo titled “Into the Pentagram”. Into the Pentagram would later make it’s second appearance on this beastly full-length…Unholy Destruction!

The album opens with a some-what groovy doom-esque intro, however this is not what you should expect the rest of the album to be. Filled with attitude, aggression, speed and enough D-Beats to make any early Bathory or Discharge pleased as punch. The riffs are just plain punch you in the throat speed metal with flowing solos contributed by Shaun “Commandor Vanik” Vanek of Midnight. The title of this album really says it all…it’s truly an Unholy Destruction. It’s in your face satanic speed metal/punk that doesn’t let up…

I recommend for fans of: Bathory, Discharge, Wolfbrigade, and Midnight.

HAMMR is J. Hammer

FUN NOTES: The mixing was done by Commandor Vanik and mastering by Toxic Holocaust mainman Joel Grind.
