Hammerhead is Solace's half of 2004's Blackmarket/Hammerhead split EP, re-released in 2006 on limited edition 10 inch vinyl.
Recorded at New Aliance Studios in Boston, MA, Hammerhead found Solace "experimenting with some new styles to nice effect".[1] Two cover songs - a title track originally by Rare Bird and Link Wray's Rumble - were described as "bombastic",[2] "on fire"[3], and sounding "like some New Wave of British Heavy Metal classic".[4] An original track ("Cement Stitches") harkens back to Solace's Punk and Hardcore roots [5] with "cool harmonic breakdowns"[6] and vocals "that can go from a solemn Ian Curtis baritone to a wailing Chris Cornell banshee shriek".[7]
