  • Hammers of Misfortune / The Gates of Slumber / Castle / Kosmograd @ The Courthouse, Toronto ON, July 27, 2012

    Review by Sean Palmerston; Live photos and video by Adam Wills This show was a long time coming.

These two combined made this…

  • Hammers Of Misfortune / Christian Mistress @ Bitmore Cabaret, Vancouver BC, Decmeber 8, 2011

    … their very first shows in support of the stupendous 17th Street, early December saw San Francisco’s Hammers of Misfortune schedule four dates in the Pacific Northwest – the first of which would be their inaugural date in Vancouver. It’s safe to say that this show was my most-anticipated of the year, as I’ve been…

  • HAMMERS OF MISFORTUNE: The Metal Blade Reissues

    By Kyle Harcott San Francisco’s Hammers of Misfortune have recently signed to Metal Blade, and as a result, the label has reissued their entire back catalogue in hopes that it will get the due recognition it missed the first time around.

  • Hammers Of Misfortune, Ludicra, Crux Of Aux, Slaughter Strike @ Casbah, Hamilton ON, August 8, 2009

    … King Street West venue left those in attendance positively steamy. First band of the night was Toronto’s Slaughter Strike, who I believe were making their Hamilton debut. SS is the new band of former Rammer guitarist Joel Militia and vocalist Dave Kristiansen, along with at least a few members of The Endless Blockade, and…

  • Ludicra – The Tenant

    … checking out their live show opening for Hammers of Misfortune last summer. The Tenant has convinced me I’ve got some catching up to do.

    … Radio. This week we had our youngest guest yet. Sean’s older son Kieran (age six) rode shotgun with us (although for most of the taping he was playing games on www.tvokids.com).
