“The Locust Years” brings the creative song-writing of The Hammers to an upper level, through the creation of a complex Rock Opera in which several different elements perfectly complete each other. Echoes of Yes, Pink Floyd and in general the legacy of 70s progressive rock are mixed with Hammers’ trademark of originality and love for uncommon solutions. The dramatic, bitter sense of Tragedy that surrounds the album makes it a masterpiece that goes beyond the term of “Metal”, to a wider meaning: “The Locust Years” is the perfect soundtrack for our souring times.
Features Mike Scalzi of Slough Feg on vocals.
