Hamferð is a Faroese doom metal band from Thorshavn. The band was formed in 2008 with one goal: To bring slow, crushing and atmospheric music to the Faroe Islands, the home to a bleak and depressive atmosphere that can only be properly communicated through the funeral march of doom metal.

Since winning the Faroese battle-of-the-bands-style competition Sement in 2010 Hamferð have progressed and had a rapid growth.
This summer Hamferð appeared on several well known festivals in the Faroe Islands, including Summarfestivalurin and the G! Festival. Shortly after their concerts on both festivals Kerrang! critiqued their performances and handed them an impressive 4 out of 5 stars.
Hamferðs main influence is said to be the impressive surroundings on the Faroe Islands, where the sea and the long cold winter play the major role as main contributors.
