Editorial Reviews
San Francisco's Hammers of Misfortune, currently one of the most praised acts in the metal underground, have tapped into something timeless, unique, and masterful since their inception in 2000. Their mix of traditional metal with NWOBHM, classic and obscure prog, '70s rock, and Broadway musical and theatrical elements has won the band critical acclaim for their three milestone releases, The Bastard, The August Engine, and The Locust Years.

Their Best!!!,

This review is from: Fields/Church of Broken Glass (Audio CD)
This pair of albums is awesome!!! My review from heavymetalpower.comOK I'm guilty - I still don't have their first album, but I'm still gonna say this is Hammers' best album, or best two albums?! They replaced two members (one being the great Mike Scalzi) and still created, dare I say, a masterpiece. A clear improvement here is definitely the production most notably the female vocals. To my ears they were off key at times on the last two records. They pure 70s style keyboards sound awesome too. This is the kind of substantial material that reveals more of itself to the listener with each listen. If you like 70s hard rock/ prog rock, 80s metal, or just great melodic metal you owe it to yourself to explore these masterful records.

A MUST HAVE,

This review is from: Fields/Church of Broken Glass (Audio CD)
This is very worthy material to have in your collection but one thing you must realize is that HOM is not really a METAL band per se (at least not like the EURO power metal). This band is more along the lines of vintage heavy rock like URIAH HEEP, LUCIFER's FRIEND, BIG ELF and LUCIFER WAS containing progressive passages. It can even be compared to other great prog bands like SPOCK's BEARD and FLOWER KINGS.If you are someone who appreciates TRUE and timeless music, then you know what you have to do.
