It's been a hell of a ride - with 5 full European tours supporting legendary bands who we grew up listening to (Sepultura, DRI, Napalm Death etc...), around 150 live shows in over 20 countries, countless festivals, 2 killer extreme metal albums - and the best is still yet to come! We are proud to join the SPV\Steamhammer family, one of the biggest international metal labels, with it's own glory history . I'm positive that with SPV\Steamhammer behind us, new goals will be achieved and Hammercult's extreme metal will spread stronger than ever!"
Steamhammer A&R; Olly Hahn ads: "Hammercult is one of these bands who are willing to have success. They are more than 100% into the metal genre and can`t wait to play another show or festival. The new album will be a surprise and I´m sure that we both have a great future in front of us.!"
The new album is mixed and mastered by Tue Madsen (Moonspell, The Haunted, Dark Tranquility).
