(Submitted News) Wolvhammer have announced the release date for their debut full-length, Black Marketeers of WWIII, which was recorded by famed knob-twiddler Sanford Parker and will be due out July 13, 2010 on Init Records. The album will be available for purchase in the next 4-5 weeks from Init's website, and the band will also have copies to sell at their upcoming shows with Baton Rouge doom lords Thou.
With only a year under their belt, Wolvhammer has already been making their fair share of noise in the extreme metal community. Formed in early 2009 by Heath Rave, Micah Leonetti, and Ryan McKern the band quickly released 2 EP's (Rich With Bloodfuel and Dawn of the 4th) and soon was sharing the stage with many heavy hitters. With the addition of Andy Schoengrund in early 2010, the band has been able to achieve a goal they have had since inception: to more deeply explore the boundaries of heavy metal by incorporating dark wave and depressive rock into their already solid base.
