STRIKEHAMMER joins MOMR roster.
It took quite a while, but we're stoked to finally announce the signing of Italian speed/black/thrash metal act STRIKEHAMMER.
The trio was formed in 2023, however, two of the members (guitarist/vocalist and bassist/vocalist) had played together since 2011/2012 in a black/thrash outfit SURGE ASSAULT, and after the split, they decided to continue along the same filthy, alcoholic and blasphemous path. We came across them in December 2023 when they played in Florence supporting BARBARIAN, and the first live impression was good enough for us to immediately buy their EP "Chaotic Spell" and start following them closer. The second show we saw the following year only confirmed to us that not only their music kicks ass, but also their attitude is right, and we started discussing the possibility to work together. The band played live a whole lot, and it took until the summer of 2025 for their debut album to be finalized. After hearing it, we had no doubts at all that we want to be involved, and after another show, at Metalburg festival near Vicenza, the contract was signed. Watch out for them if you're into bands like MIDNIGHT, AURA NOIR, DARKTHRONE, HELLRIPPER, BUNKER 66, BARBARIAN, HELLCRASH, WHISKEY RITUAL, TOXIC HOLOCAUST, BÜTCHER, SPEEDWOLF or WHIPSTRIKER, and of course the godfathers of the genre, VENOM and MOTÖRHEAD.
To listen to the first song off their debut full-length "Midnight Inferno", check the video visualizer of the title track on our YouTube channel.
We're going to release "Midnight Inferno" on January 23rd - the day they're scheduled to play in Florence, yet again supporting BARBARIAN (this is a match made in hell!), making it the album release party.
In the meantime, head on to the STRIKEHAMMER page to read the biography and check more details about the band.
