Hammering

**Hammering** is a Swedish death metal force that emerged from Gothenburg’s legendary metal scene in 2017. Known for their unrelenting, old-school sound, the band blends HM-2 pedal-driven riffs with themes of existential dread and societal collapse. Recent releases like *OMEGA*, *LIBERA ME*, and *BREACH OF TRUST* (2023) showcase their knack for pairing raw aggression with eerie melodic undertones, cementing their status in the underground death metal circuit. Founding members Marcus Edvardsson (vocals/guitar) and Johan Karlsson (drums) keep their approach stripped-down and primal, channeling the ferocity of ’90s Swedish death metal while avoiding modern polish. Hammering’s live shows are sweat-soaked, chaotic affairs, earning them a cult following among fans of unfiltered extremity.
