Thorr's Hammer

Thorr's Hammer is an American/Norwegian Doom Metal band formed in Ballard, Washington by Greg Anderson (ex-Engine Kid, Sunn O))), Goatsnake, Brotherhood) and Stephen O'Malley (Sunn O))), Burning Witch, SARIN, Teeth of Lions Rule the Divine, Lotus Eaters, Ginnungagap, Khanate, Fungal Hex, KTL, Æthenor, Gravetemple) during winter 1994-1995. Soon after Runhild Gammelsæter, then 17-year-old Norwegian exchange student, joined the band as vocalist/lyricist. The band reached its final form when Jamie Sykes (Burning Witch, Wardrums, ex-Codename F.A.D.G.E., ex-The Enchanted) and James Hale (Subharmonics) joined. The band was active only for six weeks during which it played two gigs and recorded a demo and an EP entitled Dommedagsnatt. The band disbanded after Runhild's return to Oslo, Norway. Burning Witch was formed from the ashes of Thorr's Hammer and Runhild has currently teamed up with James Plotkin (Khanate) to form Khlyst. In 2009 the band reunited, and had a couple of gigs in the US and UK. It is not known if they reunited only for gigs, or they will acually record new material.
