SQUIDHAMMER METAL EPK
BIO
Squidhammer (Watertown, WI) cut their teeth in the Midwestern US metal scene in 2018 with their debut album, ‘Power Removal Service’. The album was released independently and has been lovingly accepted into the "favorites" category of many midwest headbangers who have shown so much support.
In 2021, Squidhammer went through a lineup change that would prove to open many doors and provide new opportunities. Squidhammer's founding member, Jake Schultz, adopted an open-door approach to the band lineup, meaning that members are free to come and go as they please. This has proven to ensure that only the most readily available, passionate, humble, and dedicated people are involved. Nearly immediately after the lineup change, the band signed on to The Legend Agency and began touring the US under the guidance of booking agent Keith Wampler. After 18 months with Keith, and five US tours, the band had more than doubled it's social media following and grown closer to it's followers by prioritizing long-term fan relationships.
With the release of the song 'Hamrammr' ft. Marq Pointer of H1Z1 on 12/2/22, the band's second studio project, 'Hail The Squid', began being rolled out as a series of singles. Squidhammer is extremely excited to say that the collection is a Wisconsin collaborative effort and it's 12 (or more) tracks will feature 20+ vocalists from Wisconsin's top metal bands. At this time, there's no planned end to the project. Squidhammer will continue to collaborate with Wisconsin's most talented vocalists for years to come as new talent arises. The future is looking very bright for the Wisconsin metal scene.
