艺人介绍
by William York & Eduardo RivadaviaOriginally known by the name Unholy Cadaver, San Francisco's Hammers of Misfortune play what might be described as Celtic fantasy metal. Their style mixes together Thin Lizzy/Iron Maiden-style dual-guitar harmonies, operatic vocals, Celtic-tinged acoustic guitar interludes, and elements of Scandinavian black metal (musically, not lyrically). The quartet is led by guitarist/vocalist John Cobbett, who, along with fellow guitarist/vocalist Mike Scalzi, is also a member of the band Slough Feg. Hammers of Misfortune's lineup was originally rounded out by bassist/vocalist Janis Tanaka (who has also played with L7, Stone Fox, and Fireball Ministry) and drummer Chewy Marzolo. Their initial demo, the plainly titled Demo #1, was recorded during 1996 and 1997 and released under the Unholy Cadaver name. Hammers of Misfortune's first official release, a deluxe-packaged, three-act concept album, entitled The Bastard, finally came out in 2001 and was followed by the similarly well-appointed and ambitious The August Engine in 2003. However, the latter had been recorded mostly by Cobbett and Chewy, with little from Scalzi or Tanaka, and its liner notes officially announced the latter's exit after the sessions' conclusion, to be replaced by bassist/vocalist Jamie Myers and pianist/organist Sigrid Sheie. This lineup embarked on a rare tour across the U.S. in the summer of 2004, but was idle for much of the following year while Cobbett and Scalzi focused on recording and promoting Slough Feg's Atavism album. By the time Hammers of Misfortune's third opus, The Locust Years, finally merged in 2006, more personnel changes were on the horizon, and it was announced at year's end that both Myers (pregnant with her first child) and Scalzi (too busy to deal with both Slough Feg and Hammers) had chosen to depart. Their replacements were Patrick Goodwin (Dirty Power), taking over male vocals and guitar, and Jesse Quattro (Secret Chiefs 3, Carniceria), handling bass and female vocals.
