Complex yet subtle. Such adjectives immediately come to mind when describing the 3rd Hammers' opus - "The Locust Years". This album clearly owes much of its substance to the fertile minds that drive Slough Feg, the most obvious aspect being the Epic feel of the songs. It comes as no surprise therefore that HOM also features Slough Feg dudes Mike Scalzi and John Cobbett.

Old timey reviewers here used to add genre descriptors in the additional info as the layout of the reviews back then flowed differently.

That said... this was a bit of an overkill situation.

The album does include all of the above styles though. And there is some really great music in it.
