New Christian Death Metal Project Makes a Raw and Righteous Entrance<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019ve been starving for death metal with bite, backbone, and biblical fury, King\u2019s Hammer just served your next meal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today marks the official release of \u201cVehement Zeal,\u201d<\/strong> the debut single from King\u2019s Hammer<\/em>, a brutal new force in the Christian extreme metal underground. Fronted by Chuck Weatherman<\/strong> (best known for his work with Shovelhead A.D.), this single is the first glimpse into the band\u2019s upcoming five-song EP To Speak in Tongues<\/em>, set to drop June 13 via a joint release from Broken Curfew Records<\/strong> and Rottweiler Records<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cVehement Zeal\u201d sounds like it crawled out of the early ’90s OSDM (old-school death metal) scene, baptized in fire, and sent to tear down strongholds. There\u2019s no overproduction here. No polish. Just raw riffage, violent low-end chugs, blastbeats from the abyss, and a voice that sounds like it clawed its way out of the Psalms of War.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cI went for a rough, raw early \u201890s OSDM kind of sound,\u201d says Chuck Weatherman.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The single wastes no time. With lyrics rooted in conviction and music that punches like Suffocation meets Mortification in a dark alley, it sets the tone for a band with no interest in compromise. This is Christian metal weaponized.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For fans of:<\/strong> Mortification, Vengeance Rising, Dying Fetus, Suffocation, Seventh Angel, Hate Eternal, Broken Flesh,<\/em> and yes\u2014even Pantera<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The full EP To Speak in Tongues<\/em> drops on Friday, June 13<\/strong>, a date already soaked in metal mythology. Whether coincidence or spiritual appointment, the message is clear: King\u2019s Hammer is here, and they\u2019re swinging for skulls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
