Editorial Reviews

From the Artist

Thorr's Hammer was formed in the sleepy Nordic Village of Ballard, Washington by guitarists Greg Anderson (Goatsnake, sunn0)) ), and Stephen O’ Malley (Burning Witch, Khanate, sunn0))) ) during the mammoth stoned winter of 1994-1995. This cold collaboration was finally realized when the unholy blessing of 17-year old Norwegian native Runhild Gammelsaeter was bestowed upon the project via her amazing vokills and primitive poetry/lyrics. After adding the thunderous war-rhythm secion of Jamie Sykes (Burning Witch, the Enchanted) and James Hale, ...the onslaught began!!! Six weeks, two concerts and a recording session later THORR'S HAMMER disbanded due to Runhilds departure back to Oslo, Norway.

5.0 out of 5 stars Finally!!, July 15, 2004

This album is a nihilistic, doom metal masterpiece, and its about time somebody re-released it! Runhild's guttural vocals (you'll swear its a man!!) are the centerpiece of the album and the music led by Stephen O'Malley of sunn0))) and Burning Witch, is some of the heaviest, sludgiest metal ever recorded. Just put this on and trip out!

Thanks Southern Lord!

Good, 32-minute EP by this no-holds bar U.S. doom metal band. Four well mixed demos here, as the best cuts are the in-your-face "Norge" and the live track - the twelve minute "Mellom Galgene". Amazing factor here is to discover that the lead vocalist (from Norway) - Runhild Gammelsaeter (stage name: Ozma) REALLY is a woman. First time I've ever heard a female crooner with that deep of a growl in their pipes. Might appeal to fans of the Obsessed, Burning Witch and Goatsnake.
