Hammercross – Fire Walk With Me (2022) – Rock The Best Music

As I promised you in the previous post, this is about EP’s again. In fact, the HAMMERCROSS astures not only coincide with Fronkonstin due to the edited format, they also coincide on the same day and time of publication since their new 7” was published on June 10 of last year. With that nod to the legendary 90’s series, Twin PeaksIn the title, I will give you my impressions…

Come and burn yourself completely with those of the ‘CruzMartillo’…

I confess to having an absolute weakness for the Mieres band in all its facets and stages. On the new 7” we have the first incursions by Manuel Duarte, aka ‘Lolo Hammer’, (vocals, guitar) into Shakespeare’s language with his usual palette of High Energy, Grunge, Garage, Powerpop and accurate desert approaches to Stoner and the Heavy Psych that are becoming something habitual in each of their works, which I obviously celebrate. This is precisely how he opens this ‘fire’ Fire Walk With Me (2022), with more “Fire”!!!, an arid and dense composition, between Kyuss and Monster Magnet. Hard struggle between the ‘desert’ and ‘outer space’ with some very cool choral arrangements on the bridge. “Save My Soul” imposes punch and rough 90’s guitars, Lolo doesn’t seem to have a hard time phrasing in English and the song is pure sonic tension with a grunge shell. Action Rock was not going to be missing in any way in a Hammercross album and here we have the extremely intense “Baila”, a ‘glueciferated’ of hell overflowing with punch and energy. “Lies” takes us back to more Heavy Psych Stoner fields, with an obsessive riff and the gaze set back on the 90’s and permeating everything with that irony and disenchantment with everything that surrounds lies. “GO!” closes the 7” with their backs held high and Scandinavian flair, a fast-paced composition, typical of the band, Turbonegro Vs. Hellacopters? That closes another indelible mark in the discography of those from Astures…
