WAR CLOUD to release 'Earhammer Sessions' album on Ripple Music this May; extensive US and European tour announced!
Oakland
hard rock revelers WAR CLOUD announce the release of their thunderous live
album 'Earhammer Sessions' this May 22nd on Ripple Music. The band will be on
the road this spring for an extensive tour across Europe and the US.
This new live-in-studio record 'Earhammer Sessions' was
recording Earhammer Studios in California
by Greg Wilkinson, and showcases a wild array of songs taken from their two
albums for an overall live feel.

Says frontman Alex Wein: "We wanted to capture the live
energy of our set and it was a no brainer to record with Oakland’s Earhammer Studios. The recordings
capture the evolution of the band and how we have progressed as a group. What
you hear is the setlist we performed every night of our most recent European
tour. It’s a raw, honest, take no prisoners vibe that the band exudes. We chose
Earhammer Studios because it has recorded bands that we are fans of (Saviours,
Lecherous Gaze, Necrot) and it’s the epitome of the Oakland metal sound. Greg Wilkinson
(engineer/mixer) understood our vision and helped recreate the live set. The
Earhammer Sessions were mastered by Alan Douches (Motörhead, High On Fire,
Gwar)".
WAR CLOUD also recently unveiled a hectic video for the song
"Give'r", which you can watch at this location. The song is taken
from the 'Earhammer Sessions' live album, and was first released on 2017's
self-titled debut 'War Cloud'.

With a 2014 ignition in Oakland,
California, WAR CLOUD has left a smoking path
across much of the USA and Europe. Formed and led by Alex Wein (vocals, guitars)
after planting his amps in the Bay Area, he unified a crew with Nick Burks on
guitar, Sam Harman on Bass and Joaquin Ridgell on drums. In 2020, the band
moved its headquarters to Austin,
Texas.
Taking a classic 70s heavy rock and 80s power metal approach
and then aggressively dousing it in modern metal sophistication, embracing
their recognizable dual guitar harmonies, proto-metal licks, hard charging
rhythms, adding heavy surges of British and Southern metal to inspire the fire.
WAR CLOUD has released two albums, both on Ripple Music: ‘War Cloud’ (2017) and
‘State Of Shock’
(2019). Electrifying audiences for six years, they take no prisoners with their
own style of high energy heavy metal.
WAR CLOUD will be touring extensively this spring in support
of their last album 'State Of Shock',
