What could your band put together in just 6 weeks? Would you have a few songs written or be ready to perform live? In less than 2 months, the death-doom quintet Thorr’s Hammer made their mark on underground music forever before vanishing into the ether. Consisting of a teenage Norwegian exchange student and several musicians from around the Seattle area, the band recorded a handful songs and played 2 gigs before ultimately disbanding. Thorr’s Hammer stands as a precursor to massively influential projects like Sunn O))) and Khanate as well as the long-standing label Southern Lord Recordings that continue to push the genre to new heights. This week on Riff Worship, Austin & Dylan go back to where it all began to discuss the sole Thorr’s Hammer EP ‘Dommedagsnatt’.
