Description
Since 2012, North Carolina husband-and-wife duo Anders Manga and Devallia have created doomy, hook-laden tunes under the name Bloody Hammers. When the COVID-19 pandemic hit in early 2020, they retreated to their home studio to record Songs of Unspeakable Terror, which offers an infectious horror-punk twist on their spooky sound. “People have called us ‘doom metal’ or ‘gothic metal’ in the past, but with all the real-life doom going on in the world in 2020, I wasn’t in the mood for that,” Manga tells Apple Music. “When I started writing, something was pulling my creativity to the opposite direction—to escapism. I wanted to make an aggressive but fun and distracting record.” Below, Manga pulls back the curtain on Songs of Unspeakable Terror.
