Cleveland's legendary kings of metallic hardcore RINGWORM return with their Relapse debut, Hammer Of The Witch. The band worked on the record with Ben Schigel (Chimaira, Walls of Jericho) handling production duties at Spider Studios in Cleveland, OH. 13 songs of fire-y rage propelled by lead vocalist Human Furnace's wrathful fury, this is a record sure to satisfy metal heads and hardcore kids alike. Riffs and grooves collide on songs like 'Psychic Vampires' and 'Bleed' creating some of the most vicious hooks to get stuck in your brain in a long, long time. Hammer Of The Witch might just be the finest moment in RINGWORM's 20 plus year career. The artwork for the album was designed by frontman Human Furnace.

Hammer of the Witch is set release March 18^th in North America, March 17^th for the UK/World and March 14^th for Germany / Benelux / Finland.

The album is available for pre-order from Relapse in CD, LP and digital formats at http://bit.ly/RingwormHammer  

The title track from Hammer of the Witch is being premiered today and is available for streaming below.

Destined to be a mainstay in every hardcore metal fan's headphones,RINGWORM's Hammer of the Witch serves to solidify the bands vital place in hardcore history.
