TEN TONN HAMMER

TEN TONN HAMMER is a groove-metal / progressive hardcore band formed in 2006 in St.Petersburg, Russia by musicians from Russia, Slovak Republic and Belarus. Originally TTH played metal-core music, which can be heard on their first album called “Poslednie Dni…” (2008). After previous vocalist's accidental death, “new blood” influence changed the band's genre to groove-metal. Koian Hammerhead, from Bratislava (Slovak Republic) became the new singer. But during the recording process of their second album, which was made in two languages, the guitar player has decided to end his music career, and other members were pushed to start the search again. Very soon they've found a very talented young musician named Alex Silkin who moved to St.Petersburg from Saratov City (Russia). This took TEN TONN HAMMER to a new technical level, and changed its' music to progressive hardcore metal. Their last album “Your Words Are Nothing” was recorded in summer 2011, and was mixed/mastered by a well-known metal producer Chris “Zeuss” Harris (Planet-Z studio, Hadley, USA) who worked with bands like Suicide Silence, Hatebreed, Chimaira, Threat Signal, The Acacia Strain and others. In September 2011, drummer Armen Bolyan had to end his career due to serious health issues, and after several months of casting, Alexander Khoroshevsky from South Russia became the new TTH drummer. New releases, made in 2013, were made with djent influences, and after all were given to new internet-project A.S.K.H.project, made only by guitarist and vocalist of the TTH. At the end of 2013, koian decided to make a huge reconstruction of the band, and changed the line up, by adding second guitar-player and making all songs only in english. Then the new changes were made, and in 2018, band release new album, that was written past 3 years. During these years the band gave a lot of shows on Russian territory, Belorussia, Latvia, Lithuania, recorded 4 albums (two of them are in two languages), 2 EP’s, and made a lot of official videos.
