Master’s Hammer – Maldorör Disco Review

By Grin Reaper

Besides a stout back catalog, experimental black metal weirdos Master’s Hammer vaunts an intermittent history both in band activity and AMG coverage. After releasing two largely unsung platters of black metal in the early 90s,1 the band unleashed the terminally forgettable Šlágry and hung up the hammer. In the same year our estimable blog was spawned, Master’s Hammer returned with Mantras, further augmenting their core sound with synth layers and an expanded songwriting tool belt. Before shuttering the project again in 2020, Master’s Hammer earned a glowing review and a similarly positive TYMHM at AMG, while another three albums went untested in our halls. The fires of creation never quelled completely, though, and now the Czech outfit reemerges with Maldorör Disco. Can this hammer still pummel, or should it have remained in Master’s toolbox?

Maldorör Disco marks a departure from Master’s Hammer’s earlier eras, dropping black metal vestiges in favor of a sound more in line with Neue Deutsche Härte and electro-industrial. On the likes of Vracejte Konve Na Místo and Formulæ, synths bolster atmosphere and texture. Here, Master’s Hammer adopts the keyboard as the primary driver of melody, and though Root and Mortuary Drape served as apt reference points on earlier albums, Maldorör Disco merits a new set of comparisons. Hints of Turmion Kätilöt, KMFDM, and Heldmaschine permeate Master’s Hammer’s landscape, but more than any other act, I find Maldorör Disco evokes Kraftwerk. ”Anděl Slizu” and “Bicycle Day” exemplify the electro-pomp that Germany’s finest man-machines defined decades ago. With the hooks predominantly occupying synth-driven territory, other instruments are relegated to supporting roles across Maldorör Disco’s ten concise and lively tunes.

Despite Maldorör Disco’s pivot in musical direction, Master’s Hammer retains much of the talent that supported the success of their second era. The only raw recruit is full-time keyboard player Kamil Princ, a sensible addition given the album’s dedication to synth. Princ crafts tenacious melodies that sink their teeth in and don’t let go, a testament to the memorability of Disco’s schtick. Meanwhile, bandleader, vocalist, and multi-instrumentalist Franta Štorm asserts his uniquely gruff croon and mixes its deployment with other effective stylings ranging between soft cleans (“Anděl Slizu”), backing falsetto injections (“Bicycle Day”), and vocal effects (“El Teide,” “Slatina”). Melded together, these elements fashion a diverse and engaging listen against the synth-laden backdrop. Necrocock (guitars) and Honza Kapák (drums) round out the rest of the band, ably bracing Maldorör Disco’s grooves.2

The revamped, key-centric concept on Maldorör Disco pumps a breath of fresh air from Master’s bellows, although a flaw or two hold the forge fire back from a full-on blaze. The focus on electronic influences adds a new dimension to Master’s Hammer’s sound, and while it works, I lust for more of the oddball shit that made past albums such a blast. The shift in musical approach grabs the limelight, but at the expense of what makes Master’s Hammer so lovably eccentric. Maldorör Disco also stumbles in its adherence to mid-paced tempos. Slower songs don’t pose an inherent problem,3 but restricting song speeds places a heavier burden on songwriting dynamics. Though not a fatal flaw, I wonder what Maldorör Disco might have sounded like with a couple tracks oozing the fury and venom of “Psychoparasit” or the varied velocity on “Zvířecí Zvuky.” Aiding Maldorör Disco are the restrained runtime and improved production, both of which have detracted from previous albums. Forty-two minutes are enough to explore what Master’s Hammer crafts here, and though synths don’t require the dynamic range that denser compositions do, the production is rich enough to highlight when the other instruments break out of the pocket.

After seven dormant years, Maldorör Disco proves Master’s Hammer still strikes with potency. Štorm and the gang might be longer in the tooth, but time hasn’t stripped their ability to pen tunes that stick with you long after Master’s forge has cooled. Nearly forty years since forming, Master’s Hammer bangs out another set of craftsmanlike ditties that’ll keep you whistling while you work. Though I wish Master’s Hammer would have incorporated more of their inimitably kooky antics, I enjoyed my time at the Disco, and assuming electronics aren’t anathema to your metal intake, I recommend giving it a spin or three.

Made this Turmion Kätilöt dress for the festival summer here in Finland! It won't be my last time wearing it though, as it's very comfy with adjustable straps and pockets large enough to fit my (rather large) phone!

If you want a similar style custom made dress, top or anything really, made from official merch, contact me here or at blackartdesigns@live.nl

Guten Morgen zusammen 👋🏻 Ein gutes Wochenende liegt vor mir: gleich geht es zum Brunchen mit meinen Studienfreundinnen und morgen in die Therme, jede Sauna durchschwitzen. Und sich innerlich darüber beschweren, dass ich nirgendwo meinen eigenen Aufguss machen darf, aber naja, Deutschland halt.

Und wie läutet man das besser ein als mit Musik? Gestern waren wir beim Konzert von #TurmionKätilöt - jedes Mal ein großer Spaß, das Publikum war gut drauf und die Band hat sich sichtlich über den Zuspruch gefreut. So viele Handherzen habe ich selten bei einem Konzert gesehen ☺️ Da sie aber leider nicht "Pyhä maa" gespielt haben, anbei hier: lynkify.in/song/pyha-maa/pnGHQ

Olen muutenkin nyt kuunnellut paljon Turmion Kätilöitä, koska niiden musiikki oikeasti rauhoittaa ja auttaa keskittymään töissä. Kun on tarpeeksi kova meteli korvissa, pystyy sulkemaan ympäröiviä häiriötekijöitä pois. Linkkaan tähän myös lempikappaleeni Technodiktator levyltä.

Ostinpas autoon lisää kuunneltavaa. Näytän varmasti melko huvittavalta, kun ostan tällaista musiikkia ja käytän aina Hatsune Miku kangaskassia. Turmion Kätilöt, J-pop ja K-pop on se mun juttu, haha!

Miksaus häiritsi edelleen Turmion kätilöiden aikana; seisoin suunnilleen samoilla kohdilla kuin Sigh’n aikana, mutta rumpujytä jatkui aina vain. Ehkä pari kolme metriä taaempana saundi olisi ollut parempi, mutta sitten olisin jäänyt keskelle pittiä…

Tämä oli viimeinen TK-keikka hetkeen, seuraavan kerran sitten kesäfestareilla. Mä lupaan, että tulevat mahdolliset keikkakommentit tulee olemaan muistakin bändeistä kuin Turmion kätilöistä.
