Contents |
Thorr's Hammer was formed in Ballard, Washington by Greg Anderson and Stephen O'Malley during winter 1994-1995. Soon after Runhild Gammelsæter, then 17-year-old[1] Norwegian exchange student joined the band as vocalist/lyricist. The band reached its final form when Jamie Sykes and James Hale joined. The band was active only for six weeks[1] during which it played two gigs and recorded a demo and an EP entitled Dommedagsnatt. The band disbanded after Runhild's return to Oslo, Norway.[1] Burning Witch was formed from the ashes of Thorr's Hammer.[2]
