Description

HAMMERS OF MISFORTUNE have made themselves a name in the underground metal scene with their uncompromising and yet talented Metal offering. Some skilled musicians from San Francisco gave birth in the late 90s to this project, previously known as UNHOLY CADAVER, and released later in 2001 their first full length album ?The Bastard? (an epic tale told in three acts with three distinct characters/voices) on Tumult Records. The album achieved excellent results such as being voted among the 40 best releases of 2001 by the writers of Terrorizer magazine and receiving by the magazine Lamentations Of The Flame Princess, the awards for Best Album, Best Concept Album and Best Overall Packaging.

The prolific song-writer John Cobbett (guitarist, also playing with Slough Feg and Amber Asylum among other projects) soon needed to put his inspiration into music, and the band recorded a new album, untitled at the time, in 2002. Early in March 2003 some line-up changes took place, when bassist Janis Tanaka (ex L7) left to join international star P!NK. Soon replacement was found in Jamie Myers (from Like Flies on Flesh) and also Sigrid Sheie (from Menstrual Tramps, pronounced "shay") entered the band. Now that the new line-up was fixed the band was also ready to hit the road again. Anyway it still seemed there was no interest from labels to release the recorded and untitled album, until CRUZ DEL SUR MUSIC became aware of this well-concealed secret and offered the band a two-album deal. ?The August Engine?, the title that was chosen to represent this second album, is a piece played with experience and true enthusiasm. An elegant offer that comes from the hearts of these musicians.
