Out today: FOEHAMMER - Monumentum


Monumentum, the new album by Foehammer, is out today on Silent Pendulum Records.

Foehammer conjures underworldly DC-area sludge-doom that captivates and hypnotizes. Progressing beyond the glacial pace of prior Foehammer releases, Monumentum is a thrilling album that rolls through a spectrum of tones and tempos – from blastbeats to cosmic drone.



"More colossal and severe than ever, with drummer Ben Price setting the tempos as if pushing boulders while Cardinell uses an arsenal of pedals and amps to broaden the roar of his guitar into something massive and molten."
–The Washington Post

"Fuzz fiends and tone worshippers: Get on this one. More than a set of songs, Monumentum is – as the kids say – a whole vibe... Some truly eclectic ideas shed heft in favor of clarity and textural variety. The most enticing bits remind us of Yob or Godspeed You! Black Emperor, and only in the best ways."

–Decibel

“Inspired by some of their favorite writers and the all-too-bleakness of our current reality, Foehammer continues to build upon the lore hidden beneath their sludge-ridden doom. Dour fans of Hell and Fórn will cling to this like gooey black tar.”
–Toilet ov Hell

"Foehammer creates downtuned anthems that get me hyped! I love the slow decaying riffs... the suffocating energy."
–Cvlt Nation

"Monumentum... lumbers forth with timeless weight at its core and a deathsludge lurch to coincide... Somewhere between compression sickness and blister-raised burn, the duo drive their point across in twisted, dense thud and rot-smelling resonance."
–The Obelisk

"Foehammer make a massive step forward with Monumentum as the duo adds more spice and savagery into their music and pepper you with doom that plods and always leaves you hanging on each note."
–Meat Mead Metal

"Deathsludgers Foehammer drop the damn hammer in a big way."
–Nine Circles

"If slow, unforgivingly heavy doom metal is your thing, Foehammer need to be on your radar."
–Everything Is Noise

"Think of earlier Thou, Ilsa, Usnea and such with big n’ long mountainous pieces and a bit of their own edge."
–Grizzly Butts

"Foehammer’s second album Monumentum has the group add a death metal-sized charge into their sludgy drone."
–Heavy Music HQ
