Biography:
The idea of Gallhammer originated in 2002 by Vivian, who wanted to form
a band based on the dark and morbid atmospheres of Hellhammer.
The other members joined the following year and Gallhammer was born in February 2003 in Tokyo,Japan, before each member had even learned to play their instruments.
This was because they had all been vocalists in their previous bands, but their influences and tastes varied greatly.
Vivian was a vocalist in a Grind Core band and had also played saxophone
in a Noise group. Risa was a vocalist in an Avant-garde project, and Mika
sang in a rock band. By March 2003, Gallhammer had already recorded a demo
tape which was limited to just 30 copies and was given away for free at
their first gig at Koiwa Death Fest Vol.2.
At early gigs their set also included covers of Hellhammer and Amebix
tracks, the main influences of the band.
Only a few months later in July, the demo CD 'Gallhammer' was recorded and released Vivian's vision of Gallhammer had been realised in that it should sound like 'Dark, Morbid and raw sensibility' with the emphasis on raw feelings.
Gallhammer is the essence of mental violence, with lyrical themes covering topics such as 'despair and hopelessness, emptiness, obsession with life, hatred, observations of negative feelings'.
By April the following year a new demo CD "ENDLESS NAUSEOUS DAYS"
was released and the band started to plan their debut full-length CD, which
would feature reworked and re-recorded songs from their earlier demos and
compilation appearances.
The band kept playing live around Tokyo such as the Gallhammer headline
gig entitled "Aloof and Proud Silence vol.1" at Shinjuku D.O.M
in August 2004 and also "Aloof and Proud Silence vol.2" at Nishiogikubo
WATTS later the same year, in the process gaining plenty of experience
and a devoted following wherever they played.
On November 11th 2004 their debut album was unleashed by 'Hello From The
Gutter' Records, entitled 'Gloomy Lights', this 8 track album was a dedication
to their influences but also created a new, unique and dark sickly sounding
atmosphere of their own.
During 2005 more gigs were played mainly around Tokyo and finally, in January
2006, Gallhammer signed a deal with Peaceville Records where plans were
made to record a full-length album.
In the meantime, 'The Dawn of...' was put together to offer people the chance to become aquainted with this exciting new prospect.
It contains a CD, offering raw demo & rehearsal footage, plus a DVD showing Gallhammer in stunning form at a show in Okayama, plus an extra 5 concerts of selected home video from their electrifying gigs around Tokyo.
The debut
Peaceville album release is set for mid-2007, which will be supported by live
appearances around Europe.
