Jai That Aussie Metal Guy & Deathwish- Eric "Bitty" Hammers

Wisconsin Metallers Deathwish has been a beacon of thrashy hardcore punk, wielding a sound reminiscent of an even more ferocious Motorhead, Deathwish has been relentlessly pushing the boundaries and is gearing up to release their latest offering "The Fourth Horseman" tomorrow 7th of June. I recently caught up with frontman Bitty to talk about all things Deathwish.

Scheduled for release on June 7th and available on Beer City Records, The Fourth Horseman stands as DEATHWISH's declaration of sonic warfare, blending elements of metal, hardcore, and rock n' roll punk into a formidable assault on the senses. This album not only showcases the band's evolution but also delves into deeply personal territory, with the title track reflecting on themes of death, rebirth, and the indomitable human spirit against the odds.
The album was recorded and mixed by Marc Birr at Carp Town Studios, with Nick Weyers assisting in the mixing process and Adam Tucker at Signaturetone Recording handling the lead guitar tracks. Mastered by Joel Grind and featuring cover art by Merikis, The Fourth Horseman represents a collaborative effort that bridges raw emotion with technical prowess. DEATHWISH's lineup for this monumental release includes Bitty on bass and vocals, Guinea Pig Champion on guitar and vocals, K. Lexau Alter on lead guitar, and S.W. Macleod on drums, each contributing to the album's visceral impact.
DEATHWISH has earned accolades for their unyielding dedication to the hardcore punk genre, with Decibel noting, "DEATHWISH channel all the right bands in all the right ways and serve up a thrashy hardcore classic that’s 100% about sonic energy… Give me a couple overdriven guitars, an incessant hardcore beat and a vocalist with a paint-peeling roar and it’s all good…"
