2013. The Lonely Wanderer
is the debut album by band Hammerstorm.
Hammerstorm was originaly formed as a pagan black metal band by original member Josh “Slikver” Young (also in Astral Winter, Atra Vetosus – founder of Immortal Frost Productions) from Australia in mid 2009. Some songs have been written and recorded but never been released. Shortly after Hammerstorm went into hiatus, which lasted for several months. It was later decided that there was no motivation to continue Hammerstorm in its former direction. In November 2009, Slikver restarted Hammerstorm together with vocalist Surtur from Belgium (owner of Immortal Frost Productions) and began writing music in a new direction. With this, Hammerstorm was reborn as an atmospheric folk black metal band...
I believe that you would be doing yourself a great disservice if you did not at least attempt to obtain this album. It is a MUST-HAVE for anyone who is inclined to appreciating the beauty of black metal music and this is one of the greatest examples.
