ive only just been super into the DOOM-y side of things for about the last two years, so i hadn't heard of Thorr's Hammer until last year. I was skeptical of the ability of anything to come out in the mid nineties to be able to avoid shades of punk/grunge, or outdated metal at the gates/early metallica sounds, but holy fuck... i got their album, after more than ten years, and its HEAVY. some of these seattle kids were in high school still when they wrote and recorded some of this shit!!!
As far as i can tell, this album must have been revolutionary! (i wasn't there at the time so i can't speak with authority on the matter.) But it seems right in line with a lot of DOOM to follow for the next ten years, and i still haven't seen such a performance from a female vocalist since.
and about the singer, Runhild- in this video, talk about a picture of perfection... jesus!
