STORMHAMMER Announces New Guitarist

April 7, 2010

German power metallers STORMHAMMER have announced the addition of guitarist Marcelo Oehninger (ex-IRIDIUM-X) to the group's ranks.

The band in January recruited new singer Ben Silver.

STORMHAMMER's fourth album, "Signs Of Revolution", came out in May 2009 via Silverwolf/SPV. According to a press release, the CD saw the band "deliver[ing] a very diverse mixture of hyper melodic, Euro-style power metal, and U.S. metal as well as a decent bite of a NWOBHM approach similar to IRON MAIDEN, JUDAS PRIEST, etc."

"Signs Of Revolution" was recorded in early 2008, completely produced by STORMHAMMER. The mix was handled by Thomas Burlefinger, who has previously worked with Mike Portnoy (DREAM THEATER),Greg Bissonette (DAVID LEE ROTH),Dave Evans (AC/DC),Darren Wharton (THIN LIZZY),L.A. GUNS and SUBWAY TO SALLY. The cover artwork was designed by "Stripe" Schinzel (AGENT STEEL, ANVIL, HANOI ROCKS, QUIET RIOT, W.A.S.P., WITCHCRAFT).

STORMHAMMER released its third album, "Lord of Darkness", in May 2004 via Mausoleum Records.
