HAMMER FIGHT To Release "Chug of War" November 12; Tour Dates Announced

New Jersey thrash n' roll devils HAMMER FIGHT will release their debut full-length album, Chug of War, on November 12 via Horror Gore Pain Death Productions.  

Chug of War, which follows the band's 2011 self-titled EP, was recorded by Bobby Torres at The Machine Shop in Belleville, NJ. Artwork for the album came from a collaboration between Hammer Fight bassist/vocalist Drew Murphy and Buz Hasson, tattoo artist and co-creator of the comic book The Living Corpse.

Guitarist Todd Stern comments on Chug of War, "It's something we've all been looking forward to putting out forever. A record that isn't here to compete sonically with the current state of metal affairs. Rather than taking a crack at being the heaviest, the darkest, or the fastest... we aimed for a record that would serve as the catalyst that helps transform your boring day into a good fucking time. Listen loud, rock hard, and have FUN kids. That's what counts most..." This initial release will be limited to only 500 copies. Pre-orders for the CD and a CD + t-shirt bundle are available from the band's web store at hammerfight.bigcartel.com.  Horror Gore Pain Death Productions is also offering pre-orders at this location.
