To Speak in Tongues is the debut EP from King’s Hammer, the savage death metal solo project from Chuck Weatherman, the guitarist and vocalist of Richmond, Virginia thrashers Shovelhead A.D. – an outpouring of the accomplished front man’s hardest and heaviest musical inclinations. Opening with the measured power of ‘The War In Heaven’, To Speak in Tongues delivers riff upon riff upon riff; focussed hammer blows that land with force and conviction. With the addition of an imposing vocal presence and a deliciously grim sound palette To Speak in Tongues makes for remorseless, relentless, yet atmospheric listening. From the old school death metal attack of first single ‘Vehement Zeal’, through the brutal grooves of ‘Wrath Descends’ and the epic ‘Crusade IX’ to the shuddering juggernaut of darkness that is concluding track, ‘Witches Bvrn’, King’s Hammer takes no prisoners.

I have sought for answers, begged for illumination from the thrones and powers that lie beyond the limits of our vision…and my prayers have been answered. A wisdom beyond comprehension, knowledge beyond bearing has been delivered unto me and my mind is in flames. The absolute essence of truth consumes me and my sense of self teeters upon the brink of annihilation. I open my mouth and the words spill forth in the language of eternity, never meant for human lips to form or mortal intellect to contain. My world splinters beneath the gaze of heaven. I am undone. I am become a conduit and while my consciousness is lost and my heart trembles, my soul begins to speak in tongues…

With the final master being applied by Seth Metoyer of Mangled Carpenter and Pulpit Vomit, you know that To Speak in Tongues has all the grit and raw venom that death metal needs to deliver the maximum impact. With the muscle of Rottweiler Records and Broken Curfew behind this release, when the hammer falls on June 13th prepare to be crushed!
