Cattle Hammer are a band from the United Kingdom that plays a blackened mixture of doom, sludge metal and drone and this is a review of their album "Dark Thoughts With Lights Out" which will be released in 2026 by Road To Masochist.
A very dark and heavy stars off the album while the slower sections of the recording also add in elements of sludge and doom metal. Spoken words can also be heard on a few tracks along with all of the musical instruments also having a very powerful sound to them and the solos and leads are also done in a melodic style.
All of the tracks are also very long and epic in length while the vocals are a mixture of black metal screams and growls. Drones are also utilized at times along with some of the riffing also adding in a small amount of dark sounding melodies, when the music finally speeds up blast beats are also introduced on the album.
Cattle Hammer plays a musical style that takes black, sludge, doom metal and drone and mixes them together to create a sound of their own. The production sounds very dark and heavy while the lyrics cover pain, suffering, death and misery themes.
In my opinion Cattle Hammer are a very great sounding mixture of black, sludge, doom metal and drone and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this band. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Gloomsower" and "Body Puzzle". 8 out of 10.
