Straight from the Italian underground, the power trio STRIKEHAMMER have emerged to deliver their debut full-length assault, "Midnight Inferno". Their sound is a high-octane amalgam of classic speed/black metal riffs and blackened rock'n'roll that captures the primitive spirit of the '80s. They excel at shifting gears, and whether they are charging at full tilt or settling into a gritty mid-tempo swagger, the energy remains unrestrained.

With metal, blasphemy and lust on their minds, and with every raspy shout and distorted riff, these maniacs send a middle finger to the sacred and a salute to the profane. They are the new torchbearers of the ancient flame, and keeping metal dangerous (as it should be!) is their mission. This is music from street demons for street demons who prefer their metal raw, earthy and covered in filth. If you find yourself constantly spinning the records of MIDNIGHT, AURA NOIR and DARKTHRONE, or if the booze-fueled rock'n'roll energy of MOTORHEAD and VENOM runs through your veins, STRIKEHAMMER are your new addiction. Fans of blackened speed like HELLRIPPER, BUTCHER, WHIPSTRIKER and SPEEDWOLF, as well as Italian scene-mates BUNKER 66, BARBARIAN, WHISKEY RITUAL and HELLCRASH, will find "Midnight Inferno" to be an essential addition to their collection.

Get ready for pure distillation of blasphemic speed black'n'roll mayhem!
