If you haven’t been converted yet to the morbid, eerie, haunting, yet sexy power of all that is Gallhammer, then you are truly missing out. Gallhammer is a Japanese all female three piece that consists of Vivian Slaughter on vocals & bass, Mika Penetrator on Guitar, and Risa Reaper on drums. Together they make a beautiful wall of dark ambient noise that drones, and sloths its way through in a wicked manner.

These girls basically bow to the alter of all that is Hellhammer and Morbid Tales era Celtic Frost with the rest of us Tom G Warrior droogs.  It’s dirty, raw mid eighties rock as f**k black metal at its finest mates. They have two solid full length albums out, the dark and sinister Gloomy Lights from 2004 & the more gentle yet brooding and deceptive Ill Innocence from 2007,  I highly recommend checking both of them out.

I recently heard Gallhammer is playing three shows in Tokyo Japan on April 19th, May 6th, and June 28th. Man I would love to see this evil incarnate threesome live soon, and am hoping after they do this quick Japanese jaunt, Gallhammer will actually do a full North American tour this year.
