Band information

Head Hammer is a Sydney band playing groove thrash and death with the occasional grindcore outburst. The band was formed by Jason, Michael and Vince in September 2004 and within two months following the addition of Zac and Aaron had recorded a two track demo. This led to consistent live gigging throughout the following two years, only occasionally interrupted by line-up changes with several guitarists passing through the band. By the time of the release of the "Declaration of War" EP, MurderWorld guitarist Shayne Querruel had joined Head Hammer (Zac Sale was also now with MurderWorld) having replaced Vern whose work appeared on the CD. The line-up remained pretty stable for most of the next two years and Head Hammer appeared at the 2007 Metalstock festival.

In mid-2007, Shayne announced he would be leaving the band. Bassist Jed has since also departed and Zac Sale is currently a member of Black Reign.
