POWERSLAVES "Hammer King" what is the story behind the name?
TITAN Bonjour Metal Messiah Radio, this is Titan Fox, vocalist and guitarist of Hammer King. It is a pleasure being with you. well, the band Hammer King apparently is named after thy Majesty, the Hammer King. Like Bon Jovi who are named after Jon Bon Jovi, or Van Halen who are named after the Van Halen brothers – only that in this case, the name-giver is not playing in the band himself.
POWERSLAVES Tell us a brief history of your band?
TITAN The band was founded in 1978 by thy Majesty, the Hammer King. He then put the band on hiatus right thereafter and revived it in 2014, when He had handpicked us to play His songs. We are namely Dolph Aidan Macallan from Scotland on drums, K.K. Basement from out of nowhere on the bass, Gino Wilde from Kleveland, Norway, on the guitar and of course me, Titan Fox, on vocals and guitar. We started working out the first set of kingly tunes in 2014 and released "Kingdom Of The Hammer King" in 2015. "King Is Rising" followed in 2016 and now, "Poseidon Will Carry Us Home" is released. We have been with Cruz Del Sur Music ever since and we are very grateful being with them!
