BLOODY HAMMERS - The Summoning (CD)

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 æThe Beast Is Coming Outæ!) are present ever-still, and turn their latest effort 'The Summoning' into a well-balanced, lush and highly infectious affair.
