Hammerdrone – A Trinity Of Rage (EP Review) – CGCM Radio/Podcast “I thoroughly enjoyed the EP and all that goes with it. A great mix of prog and death metal with melody and a hint of jazz. This is the first time I personally have come across them and they sound like a band that knows exactly what they want to do and have the experience and talent to deliver. The whole thing has been mastered by Jens Bogren (Amon Amarth and Rotting Christ amongst others) in Sweden so sounds terrific. Fans of bands like Carcass, Amon Amarth and Kataklysm should dig this enormously.” https://cgcmrockradio.com/hammerdrone-a-trinity-of-rage-ep-review

Calgary, Canada’s death metal juggernaut, Hammerdrone, returns with their most ambitious recording yet: “A Trinity of Rage”. Deliberately written as a concept release and painstakingly crafted over the course of four years, the EP is accompanied by an original short story, “Eversor” (available as a bonus download via Bandcamp ). The story revolves around the fictional second book of Revelation, in which is foretold the threat of Heaven’s destruction at the hands of Eversor, The Destroyer. As the written story of “Eversor” ends, the EP begins, with both the music and lyrics of the three songs completing the narrative arc that the story introduces.
Flowing through three parts, “Part I – Rage, Corporeal”, “Part II – Rage, Besieged” and “Part III – Rage, Consummated” it is aggressively heavy and hauntingly melodic; the band incorporates a variety of black and progressive metal influences to present an EP that both pushes the boundaries and embraces the roots of their old-school, melodic death metal origins. Vocalist Graham states:
“This EP is our finest work to date. We worked longer and harder on every single aspect of it; from the song-writing to the recording, to the artwork, lyrics and the story. It took us a full 4 years to pull together and when we finally started recording, enter the COVID dragon to screw up our timing some more! We recorded and mixed most of the EP ourselves, as we did with our last album, but this time we tracked the drums in an outside studio (the Sound Priory in Calgary, AB) and got richer, deeper and more natural drum sounds than we’ve ever captured before. To cap it all off, we engaged the infamous Jens Bogren to master the final mixes – we are big fans of his work with Amon Amarth! It’s the first time we’ve had a real professional involved in the mastering and the experience was awesome – the final master is clean and loud, but keeps the raw nature of the mix.”
Mixed by the band and then burnished to shine by the professional mastering skills of the legendary Jens Bogren (Amon Amarth, Be’lakor, Rotting Christ, etc) at Fascination Street Studios in Sweden, the result is an epic and forceful musical expression of betrayal, broken faith and vengeance.
Melodic, intense, and emotive, Hammerdrone is recommended for fans of Amon Amarth, Rotting Christ and Kataklysm.
“A Trinity of Rage” is streaming in full now via its premiere on NoCleanSinging HERE.
“A Trinity Of Rage” will be released on December 10, 2021 and will be available officially along with the short story “Eversor” with download at Hammerdrone.bandcamp.com

Canada’s Hammerdrone is releasing a new EP this year, “A Trinity Of Rage”, which contains three concise, pummeling melodic death metal tracks that take a deep dive into the passion of anger. This is a concept EP – the intent is that listeners first read the short story, Eversor (available as a download from Bandcamp when you purchase the EP), and then listen to the EP with the lyrics in hand. Eversor is basically the prequel to the EP – or the EP is the sequel to the story, however, you prefer to look at it.
The first look of the journey that is set out through “A Trinity Of Rage” is the first track “Part I – Rage, Corporeal”, which opens with brutal intent diving straight into some Obituary-esque riffage, before opening into a more melodious mid-section, complete with ripping solo, and then ending with a briefly restrained interlude that climbs into a monstrous, vocal-led crescendo. Vocalist and lyricist Graham, who also penned the original short story, Eversor, that accompanies the EP, comments:
“This song came together so easily and is musically full of intense, blistering rage, perfectly representing the intent of the song as the opening track to our concept EP, ‘A Trinity Of Rage’. The protagonist in our story has dedicated most of his life to an insane and heretical idea, suppressing his anger and grief for decades, and finally finds himself where he wants to be; in the afterlife and armed with the weapons to wreak bloody vengeance upon God. Imagine the explosion of pure hatred and wrath that results – that’s this song. This is one of the shortest songs we’ve written, clocking in at only 3.5 minutes, but we packed a lot into this slab of death metal and it sets up the musical and lyrical journey of the rest of the EP.”
Hammerdrone has concreted their position in the Canadian metal scene with steady releases since 2012, appearances at festivals including Calgary Metalfest and Loud As Hell, and making it to second place in the Canadian Wacken Metal Battle and winning Metal Recording of the Year through the YYC Music Awards. Witnesses to their live shows can expect to be pummelled into the dirt by a blistering and professional performance. They have worked hard to craft a memorable show without relying on gimmicks or costumes to do so, so they are always in motion and always trying to play to the crowd.
Epic, and aggressive, Hammerdrone is recommended for fans of Be’lakor, Carcass and Amon Amarth.
“Part I – Rage, Corporeal” can be heard via its premiere on TheCirclePit – https://youtu.be/sCH57pCx4Ww
“A Trinity Of Rage” will be released in full on December 10, 2021.

“As once aggressively heavy and hauntingly melodic, the EP incorporates a variety of black and progressive metal influences to present an EP that both pushes the boundaries and embraces the roots of our old-school, melodic death metal origins. We deliberately eschew clean singing as a dilution of the heavy intensity that we try to create with our music, so we have been described as ‘death metal that happens to be melodic’, rather than the ‘melodeath’ that many bands describe themselves as. Lyrically, this is a concept EP that tells a tale in a traditional trilogy form – the rise of the hero against a force of evil; the struggle of that hero against his own doubts and the rising power of the evil that threatens to crush him; and the hero’s final, bittersweet triumph.” – Hammerdrone

“”… here with Dark Harvest confirming itself as a heavy hitter, no doubt. Check out the title track for a killer example of intense melodic death paired with catchy songwriting” – Greg Pratt, Bravewords (CAN) 8/10 – Dark Harvest review
“”There’s no substitute for good songwriting, and Hammerdrone have that concept well in mind. If you are looking for a new death metal band to seek out, Hammerdrone is a great starting point.” – Kyle McGinn, Dead Rhetoric (USA) 7.5/10 – Dark Harvest review
“‘Dark Harvest’ is a triumph of Old School Death Metal and what all the other bands should be striving to match.” Nik Cameron, Glacially Musical (USA) – Dark Harvest review
“Imagine a cross between Dark Tranquility in ‘The Gallery’ stage with Rotting Christ in the ‘Dead Poem’ phase and Tiamat in the ‘Wildhoney’ phase, without forgetting Sentenced in the ‘Amok’ phase. Ready? Good. ‘Dark Harvest’ is better.” – Fernando Ferreira, World of Metal (POR) 9/10 – Dark Harvest review
“If the last few Amon Amarth albums actually had balls, their music would sound like Hammerdrone.” – The Metal Advisor, The Metal Advisor (May 11, 2014) – Clone of Europa review
“…melodic death of this calibre may not be hard to find, but it rarely has this much classiness and energy behind it.” – Greg Pratt, Bravewords (Apr 07, 2014) – Clone of Europa review
“Hammerdrone’s songwriting prowess, attention to detail and willingness to push itself to try different things is what really sets Clone of Europa apart..Somebody sign them already!”- Roswell47, Metal Psalter (Jul 15, 2014) – Clone of Europa review
“these Canadians have recaptured what made Soilwork (and Dimmu) great in the first place…Somebody sign these guys already”- Kelly Hoffart, Full Metal Attorney (Mar 02, 2014) – Clone of Europa review
“Hammerdrone offers a no bullshit, no synths, no clean vox, in your face fifty minutes of the most exciting music 2014 has delivered so far to my ears”- Jonathan, TZEEEAC (Feb 14, 2014) – Clone of Europa review
“a perfect combination of melodic and extreme…this Metal band helps give the underground of Metal its grand reputation”- Stone, Metal Odyssey (Jul 01, 2013) – A Demon Rising review
“Their music has a certain unholy majesty to it that few bands can obtain…” – Matt Baggins, Two Metal Guys Reviews (Mar 13, 2013) – A Demon Rising review
“a great, hard-hitting Death Metal experience”- The Circle Pit, The Circle Pit (Jan 11, 2013) – A Demon Rising review
“Lead vocalist, Graham Harris, had impeccable skill, projection and charisma – as did bassist Teran Wyer and guitarist Curtis Beardy. Their stage dynamics exuded chemistry, adrenaline and drive…Lead guitarist, Rick Cardellini stood out with his intricate solos and expressive musicianship. All in all, Hammerdrone were my favourite band of the night, and – in my opinion – the Wacken Battle winners.” – Amina Abdelwahab, Metal Master Kingdom (Jun 9, 2018) – Live Review
“Frontman Graham Harris was on fire during the entire concert, growling and roaring (and also making faces) like a beast, while his bandmates…delivered a well-balanced fusion of the more harmonious lines from Melodic Death Metal with the sheer heaviness and aggressiveness of old school Death Metal…after Hammerdrone’s concert was over, I knew the judges were going to have a very difficult time deciding who should be crowned the 2018 champions.” – Gustavo Scuderi, The Headbanging Moose (Jun 9, 2018) – Live Review
“This was the third time I had seen them play live over the past three months, and no lie, these adepts of melodic death metal never fail to awe…”- Xavier Catterinch, Metal Master Kingdom (Apr 6, 2018) – Live Review
