Track By Track explained by vocalist Sonya:

1. The song “Pacifying” is an opening word of the album, which combines the meaning and message of all subsequent tracks – to discover inner peace, find your own way, be in harmony with yourself and the world, without escaping to your illusions and not hiding under the masks of lies.

2. The song “Vagrant” is about a man who wanders about in his thoughts and cannot find his own way of life. He spends his whole life searching for answers and places under the sun.

3. “Deceiver” talks about how much you can hurt a person with just one biting word, in one moment, ruining the confidence.

4. “Time Like the Sand” is the bitter truth about humanity, which for centuries has been chasing after profit, was hiding behind lies and destroying our world with its own hands.

5. The song “Blue Fear” is related in meaning to “Vagrant”. This is a story about a person to whom they are trying to reach out, to help get out of the gray whirlpool, but he dissolves in its own world.

6. “Secret Shelter” is a Utopia world we mentally escape into, fleeing from everyday experiences. An illusory world without evil and pain in which one can find complete tranquility.

NEWS RELEASE

Montreal, QC – February 21, 2018

For Fans of Ensiferum, Amon Amarth, Wintersun, Aether Realm

NORTH HAMMER Unleash New Track “Wanderer” via PureGrainAudio

Debut Album “Stormcaller” Out March 16th

Created by Andrew James of Edmonton, AB’s Eye of Horus and Shotgunner, his new project, one man folk metal band NORTH HAMMER is drawing inspiration from the mighty Quorthon; for Andrew is not so much a one-man band as a one-warrior metal machine. Andrew wrote and recorded the guitar, bass, vocals, and orchestration along with drums done by Doug Helcaraxë Nunez for NORTH HAMMER’s forthcoming debut album “Stormcaller” set for release on March 16th, 2018.

Andrew explains the significance of his band’s name.

“The ‘north’ part was a representation of the common theme winter that comes up in metal music, including folk metal. It is also a reference to my native Canada. ‘Hammer’ is a reference to Mjolnir, Thor’s Hammer!”

Inspired by Wintersun, Ensiferum, Amon Amarth, Aether Realm, Blind Guardian, “Stormcaller” is a 21st century continuation of the work of Norse bards with its melodic death metal folk riffs.

“The experience I’m trying to give the listeners is that of a fellow fan. I want people to be euphoric for other bands that mean something to them like Ensiferum, Wintersun and Amon Amarth. To connect personally with my music and realize that I love and worship these bands.” explains Andrew James.

Teaming up with PureGrainAudio.com, NORTH HAMMER is premiering their next track “Wanderer”, which can be heard at the following link: http://puregrainaudio.com/audio/edmonton-s-north-hammer-further-tease-stormcaller-album-with-wanderer-song-stream-exclusive-premiere

Andrew James comments:

“‘Wanderer’ is a song where he (a soldier in the ranks of a Viking faction as part of the story concept) takes to the high seas to seek his destiny. Although he had visions of clear depictions of places, he doesn’t really comprehend what his purpose is at this point. And thus, he lies awake endlessly trying to piece the puzzle together. Without a real steadfast idea of where he is going, he navigates by the star’s using his memories from the vision.”

While NORTH HAMMER is a studio project at the moment, Andrew James plans to put together a band of top-notch like-minded musicians for touring in Western Canada and beyond.

Album pre-order for NORTH HAMMER’s “Stormcaller” is available via Bandcamp here.

“The hard-charging melodic death metal of this song is itself heroic in its atmosphere, its darting, folk-influenced riffs, galloping rhythms, fiery soloing, and soaring keyboard melodies summoning mythic images of striving and triumph. While its musical antecedents are indeed clearly identifiable, it’s nonetheless a pulse-pounding, heart-swelling track, and one that proves to be very catchy as well.” – No Clean Singing

“Andrew James’ one-man project from Edmonton, North Hammer enters the heavy metal fray with the crushing debut “Stormcaller.” Especially for a first release, this album is intense, heavy and filled with high quality Ensiferum worship riffage. But North Hammer is not just a clone or a tribute, the sound of the band is clearly defined within the first few tracks and continues to develop and surprise throughout the album.” – CROM Metal
