This album has been a long time coming, and Fans swayed between anticipation and frustration, especially because the band has generally been very active lately. Then finally Hammer Damage is released, but it turned out to be a mixed effort. On the upside you have Kevin Goocher’s great voice and occasional guitar parts that reminisce of the good old times from 1984 to ’87 where the band made Metal history. Sure, most songs cannot live up to the early efforts of Omen, but that would have been a miracle. What is more disappointing is the sound. The drum sound is terrible and makes Hammer Damage less enjoyable than this good album would be with a better production.

Songs from this new release will be featured at 6:00/18:00 CET & Midnight/Noon EST on the day indicated. All featured DAILY ALBUM PREMIERES will have a short review posted the day it’s on the show!

The FRIDAY edition of the Daily Album Premiere show contains 3 tracks from each of the Daily Premiere Albums featured during the week. Be sure to tune in here!

Frank got hooked on Metal at the age of 14, when a friend introduced him to AC/DC back in 1981. Since then, he has enjoyed a wide variety of musical styles, including Prog and singer-songwriter material, but mainly Metal of almost all kinds—with one exception: he neither understands nor has any clue about Black Metal. Dragons are fine, all kinds of monsters are fine, cats too, of course… just no pandas. Sorry.
