HAMMERFILOSOFI
Signum (black)

Hammerfilosofi was formed in the year MMXX in the midst of global chaos, shutdowns, death, panic and pestilence. For some, a time of despair and mass hysteria, but for others, a time of solitude, of contemplation and of inner strength. The idea behind the band, according to Fuoco Cammina Con Me was quite simple:

“We are taking Black Metal back to its primeval and genuine meaning and purpose. Hammerfilosofi is the cleansing fire that aims to eradicate every trace of the civilized, the harmless, and the mediocre. It is an instrument to initiate a violent cathartic inner journey – and a celebration of strength and vigor, of terror and strife, and of glorious death.”

Two years later, Hammerfilosofi is ready to unleash its first offering to the world: A 45 minute long incendiary feast of Black Metal Fanaticism, entitled “The Desolate One”. According to Noktifer, the album is a musical and lyrical celebration of the path to godhood.

“It is a ceremonious depiction of the sulphurous path that may turn man into superman. Hopefully our work can contribute to Black Metal once again being both Feared and Revered!”

This is Black Metal from the fertile earth of the graveyard – made for the wanderer who dares walk the path of no return – guided by nothing but His luminous darkness.

After their much acclaimed debut album - “The Desolate One” - Hammerfilosofi returns with a fiery assault on the senses, in the shape of an EP entitled “SOLUS ( Igne Natura Renovator Integra)"; four psalms of relentless, multi-layered and hellish madness.

“The EP is an inward journey of spiritual violence and cathartic soul-searching”, comments NKTFR, and adds: “Both musically and lyrically, it picks up from where “The Desolate One” left off, and continues in a bold leap into the dark unknown”.

Behind the music is as per usual the Norwegian-Italian duo - NKTFR and FCCM. Lyrics for the EP was this time penned by long time comrade of the band, Rune Vedaa from the legendary Norwegian Black Metal band Forgotten Woods.

“The EP is both a continuation of the debut, and an ominous forewarning of what is to come. We continue our relentless march, spreading our sulphurous gospel”, concludes FCCM.

“SOLUS” was recorded at WS Studios during during Autumn of 2023 and Winter 2024.

Mastered by Magnus “Devo” Andersson at Endarker Studios during the Spring of 2024.

The relentless force known as Hammerfilosofi returns this October with their most uncompromising work to date — SIGNUM. A testament to sonic extremity, SIGNUM is more than an album — it’s a proclamation. A declaration of resistance, mysticism, and philosophical warfare delivered with unwavering intent.
