about

Hammer is taken from our debut album Planted Feet (mid 2020).

Written by Tomi Hassinen & Steve Baker
Produced & mixed by Tomi Hassinen

Hammer is a short and punchy heavy rock song that was developed from a short instrumental intro/verse/chorus demo sent to singer Steve by bassist Tomi who was drawing on an ‘Alice In Chains’ vibe. Steve quickly formed the idea of a hammer as a metaphor for the universal power of mankind. Essentially the song explores how each one of us is born with a symbolic hammer in our hand and the choice of how to use that strength during our lifetime. With early vocals attached to the incomplete original demo, Tomi completed the structure of the track and the rest of the band completed their parts afterwards.

Hammer follows on from our previous single ‘Tiresome Times’ (06.03.2020), showing a heavier side of Frozen Factory including fast paced lead guitar work from guitarist Mici. Hammer is taken from our upcoming debut album ‘Planted Feet’ due mid 2020. The album is themed around the struggles of mankind to keep peace, honesty and sympathy alive in an ever more monetised world.

lyrics

The tenacity of man
Put a hammer in your hand
This talisman demands
You compete with the past

The stories of your clan
Are the plinth on which you stand
And the glories you’ll command
Will be written in this land

When the hammer falls
Choose to kill or create
When you nail that wall
Build a door or block the way

When the hammer falls
Choose to love or to hate
When you nail that wall
Make bonds stronger or break

You got a choice today

You start alone on this ride
But you’re sure to join a side
And together you’ll find might
In the arms of all your kind

Sight the focus of your strike
Smack down or take a hike
It’s an all or nothing fight
And the right ain’t always right

When the hammer falls
Choose to kill or create
When you nail that wall
Build a door or block the way

When the hammer falls
Choose to love or to hate
When you nail that wall
Make bonds stronger or break

In the possession of greater strength
There’s a temptation to indulge yourself
In the possession of greater strength
There’s a temptation to value wealth
Above all else
Until the final bell

If it’s stories you believe
It takes a God like Thor to wield
The tools to change the scene
But we’ve all the clout we need

Printed pages, glowing screens
Can’t realise your dreams
Be a strong impact machine
For yourself and for the team

When the hammer falls
Choose to kill or create
When you nail that wall
Build a door or block the way

When the hammer falls
Choose to love or to hate
When you nail that wall
Make bonds stronger or break
