Hammerhead is Solace's half of 2004's Blackmarket/Hammerhead split EP, re-released in 2006 on limited edition 10 inch vinyl.
Recorded at New Alliance Studios in Boston, MA, Hammerhead found Solace "experimenting with some new styles to nice effect".[1] Two cover songs – a title track originally by Rare Bird and Link Wray's Rumble – were described as "bombastic",[1] "on fire",[2] and sounding "like some New Wave of British Heavy Metal classic".[3] An original track ("Cement Stitches") harkens back to Solace's Punk and Hardcore roots [4] with "cool harmonic breakdowns"[3] and vocals "that can go from a solemn Ian Curtis baritone to a wailing Chris Cornell banshee shriek".[5]
This album's cover art was done by Solace friend and repeat cover-artist Paul Vismara. Originally released as half of a split EP with Albany, NY's Greatdayforup. This release was limited to 500 copies.
