Imagine if you will the esteemed ranks of Black Sabbath or Iron Maiden going away on holiday and their boots being filled by members of the Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band. If you think this is unlikely, then take a listen to AirHammer and the Sword of Fire. Even if you can't be bothered to follow the lyrics, you'll know you're listening to a band several sandwiches short of the proverbial picnic.

And they're no one-trick pony either. Besides conventional metal numbers they sound at different times as if they're stepping on the toes of the likes of Laibach and The Cure. The range is further widened by use of music hall, cabaret and even operatic styles, the use of harmonium and some pretty mean blues guitar. All this and more from just 2 guys.They sound more like an orchestra.

I can't really be any more specific in trying to describe what we have here. All I can say is grab a copy from the website and find out for yourself.
