Haymaker writes: “The album was recorded during the Hammer of Judgment Recording Sessions back in April 2019. There were hurdles along the way, from pressing plant delays to global pandemics. The Hammer of Judgment recording session was a one-of-a-kind pseudo-live studio album, utilizing an interactive crowd of dedicated fans experiencing the recording process first-hand with all of the bells and whistles of GFM Modern Recording in Blue Springs, Missouri for the studio access and engineering work and Andrew Crowley of Organica Recording for the engineering, mixing, and mastering.” HAMMER OF JUDGEMENT is the band’s 2nd full-length album. Freight Train Rabbit Killer play a special Vinyl Release Party, Saturday, April 30 at 8:00 PM, The Fifth Floor at 1106 Santa Fe St., KCMO, in the West Bottoms, with Drop A Grand, and Teri Quinn.
