Abe’s quitting baseball, Eli quit his after-school job, and Henry isfinished with high school. The three Ismert brothers who make up Hammerheddhave a natural gift and a greater calling. Perhaps the definition of lesenfants terribles, these metal minded midwesterners are too young to getserved at the venues they slay, but you wouldn’t know it to hear their music.Drawing comparisons to contemporaries like Gojira, Meshuggah, and Mastodon,Hammerhedd blend genres into a perfect sludge of chugging, grinding, beating,and thrashingly heavy marches favoring driving rhythms with a tinge ofmelodic mischief. Their sound is the kind of organic, made-to-mosh barnburning bombast that gets the walking dead banging their heads.Words like prodigy come to mind when you learn that Hammerhedd havebeen shredding almost this hard since they were in short pants. As a literalbrotherhood growing up in a big family, they were exposed early on to thekinds of roadhouse blues, rock, and r&b popular in Kansas City. Basicallyuntrained, they came to their instruments naturally through the osmosis ofmusical family elders. And when their dad showed them Metallica, they took toit like sharks to the water. When the youngest of them was only 11, the bandgained national attention after footage of their pitch-perfect cover ofMetallica’s “...And Justice For All” earned the approval of the metal legendsthemselves.
