Description

US metal legends Omen returned in 2016 with the release of Hammer Damage, the first studio album since Eternal Black Dawn in 2013. This album was mixed by Kenny Powell and  mastered by QuSound Studio/Michael Kusch. When listening to epic and catchy power hymns such as “Hammer Damage” (the incisive title track) or the hard pounding “Cry Havoc” or the masculine pathos “Hellas”, fans of the Californian quartet will completely go crazy. Already active in Omen between 1998 and 2009, Kevin Goocher (also Phantom X), with his raspy voice, will often remind you of the late J.D. Kimball, while guitarist Kenny Powell, also part of the 2016 line-up, has obviously not lost any of the striking guitar skills he displayed during Omen’s glorious early days. With “Hammer Damage”, the band clearly show that they are ready to reclaim their throne as masters of unadulterated US Metal.
