I’ve been enjoying NPR’s stream of the new album from San Francisco’s Hammers of Misfortune (listen here; the album comes out next Tuesday).

Here’s a clip from one of their earlier albums:

HoM is a project of John Cobbett, formerly guitarist of the excellent black metal-ish band Ludicra (who sadly broke up earlier this year).

I really like their sound. It’s traditional without sounding retro.
