HAMMER KING presents new track “Battle Gorse”!

We are pleased to present a second track off upcoming HAMMER KING album “King Is Rising”: “Battle Gorse”.

“The King has always been a fan of Jack Finney’s 1955 novel ‘The Body Snatchers’ and of the 1978 movie version featuring Donald Sutherland, Leonard Nimoy and Jeff Goldblum”, singer Titan Fox explains, “in the song ‘Battle Gorse’ we have similar plants, but being tremendously bigger here. One of the faster paced songs on the albums and certainly quite old-school!”

In the meanwhile the first feedback on “King Is Rising” are coming in and they are quite encouraging.

“The king is swinging his hammer again with might! Absolutely great true metal material!” – Metal Only (GER), 10/10
“A respectable album in its kind and fans of the genre should definitely give it a try!” – Lords Of Metal (NL)
“Addictive and powerful! Hammer King take a step forward with this album!” – Metalbrothers (E), 8/10
“If you like your Heavy Metal epic and entertaining, don’t hesitate to check this out!” – Dioses Del Metal (E)
“A fine successor to the debut!” – White Room Reviews (NL)
Hammer King follows the guidelines of current Epic Metal, but with influences from legendary 80s formations!” – Queens Of Steel (E)
“The King Is Rising” will be released on November 18 on compact disc, vinyl and digital.

HAMMER KING’s “Kingdom of The Hammer King” full-album stream available.

“Kingdom of the Hammer King”, the debut album of German power metal HAMMER KING is now available in streaming on Cruz Del Sur Music’s bandcamp!

At this same location the album can be bought in digital format with a 16-page booklet (that comes with the physical edition) as bonus.

HAMMER KING’s album is quite different from what you usually get from Cruz Del Sur.
It has been described as “cheesy” power metal, but we would rather say that this album is ridiculously brilliant, with an amount of melodies, galloping riffs and solos that are the basics of power metal!
Fans of Hammerfall, early Blind Guardian and of the German power metal tradition will definitely fall in love with it.
Professionally recorded by Powerwolf’s Charles Greywolf, HAMMER KING features the vocals skills of Ross the Boss/ Ivory Night singer , and a line-up full of skilled musicians. The artwork has been created specifically by Timo Würz.

The album is now officially out on compact disc and digital while the vinyl edition (Gatefold LP with bonus track) will be available by mid June. “Kingdom of the Hammer King” can also be purchased directly from the label e-store which also offers exclusive, money-saver deals on combined compact disc / tshirt orders.
