Description:

Head Hammer Man continues the soundtrack to the real life events taken from the Swedish hardcore/sludge outfit, Horndal, namesake hometown. This album is about the unsung hero, Alrik Andersson, and the dramatic events in Horndal during the Great Strike in Sweden in 1909. As union leader, Andersson is blacklisted all over Sweden and canâ??t find work anywhere. Faced with continued harassment, he is forced in exile and emigrates to America. As inhabitants of Horndal itself, the band members channel understandable frustration and anger that is framed with brutal sludge, death metal, even a hardcore punk attitude that positively bristles with indignation and begs to be heard.

Alrik and his family eventually end up in Chicago Heights where he becomes the Head Hammer Man at Columbia Steel. They get themselves a house and his grandchildren describe Alrik as a loving but stern family man who never mentions a word about the strike, Horndal, or even Sweden to anyone. He refuses to even visit Sweden but has the picture of Hjalmar Branting, Swedish leader of the Social Democrats, on the wall in his bedroom until he died in 1970.
