Foehammer Sign to Silent Pendulum Records
The word is good from Virginian crushers Foehammer, whose very, very, very heavy debut album, Second Sight (review here), turned four in April. The band have signed to Silent Pendulum Records, whose somewhat confusing but nonetheless intriguing logo you can see below. Cool band gets someone to help them with a release? Always welcome news as far as I’m concerned.
While they’ve been playing shows in the interim as much as possible and generally doing the thing, last I heard from Foehammer was in June 2020, at which point the duo of guitarist/vocalist Jay Cardinell and drummer/recording engineer Ben Price were unveiling the cover art of their second full-length, titled Monumentum, which was given a summer 2020 release date.
As far as I can tell, that album hasn’t come out yet. It goes without saying that the two years between then and now have been laced with extenuating circumstances — that’s before you get to monkeypox, rising cost of everything, etc. — so if it’s out there somewhere or if it was out and taken back ahead of a pressing through Silent Pendulum, fair enough. I miss shit all the time and have been telling you for years I’m not very good at this; so it goes.
But if it’s the case that Monumentum — or whatever it’s going to be called by the time it comes out, and whatever artwork it will have — has been held back all this time, the band must be furiously restless by now to get it out. Imagine sitting on a record for two years. Foehammer aren’t a tour-for-three-months-straight kind of act or anything, but just on general principle, two years later, the itch to get the songs out there must be significant.
If they can be patient, I can too. No release date included below, but it’ll be when it’ll be.
