Oakland's beloved metal disciples, War Cloud, recently relocated to the great city of Austin, Texas - but before departing the Bay Area they entered legendary Earhammer Studios and recorded a live session with the evil wizard of rock, Greg Wilkinson. Recreating the intense power of their live shows the band has become so beloved for, \"Earhammer Sessions\" is War Cloud in their element - flying high and burning bright.
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. These 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).\"
