Streaming in full on Decibel. https://www.decibelmagazine.com/2022/11/29/full-album-stream-hammers-of-misfortune-overtaker/ It's way more of a burner than Dead Revolution was. Acid sword and sorcery prog thrash. It's relentless, and I dig it.

I'll listen to it very soon and update this review, since I've followed them for such a long time

I'm usually a sucker for progressive metal but, this is really bad...

It actually feels a little bit more like Vhöl than like Hammers what with the tempo and the more streamlined approach, but I like both bands, so that's not a hardship.

That's what I immediately thought when the first track came out. And yeah seems the entire album was like this. Similarly to Vhöl I feel like "oh this is nice in theory" and then never listen to it cause it's kind of whatever. Maybe it'll grow on me. Probably not though

The first album from this band I actually enjoyed, but I feel like there's an aspect of fluidity that's missing. Maybe I should check out this Vhöl that has been mentioned a few times.

Edit: I lied. The debut is actually pretty good.
