| | August Engine CD (2003)
 $7.55 
A clear-cut case of two halves, the first is inaugurated in pounding metal fashion by an instrumental overture positively teeming with incredible riffs and unexpected twists; segues into a gentle amalgam of acoustic guitar, stark piano, and the crystalline vocals from guest Lorraine Rath called "Rainfall"; resumes thrashing intensity with the cryptic "A Room and a Riddle"; and finally concludes via the title track's frankly dazzling, nearly nine-minute display of labyrinthine rhythm and lead guitar work. Such is also oddly the case -- after reversing the success rates of music and words -- with its 2001 follow-up, The August Engine, whose stunning black and silver artwork scheme alone leads to heightened expectations, which its actual contents can only partly satisfy. Hammers of Misfortune's first effort, 2000's The Bastard, was a concept album as bold in its strangeness as it was impeccable in its execution, so much so that even when the music didn't always stand up under scrutiny, one was still guaranteed to be thoroughly entertained by the overall end result. So far, so good, as the above come complemented by Hammers of Misfortune's typically imaginative and evocative lyrics, detailing a dreamlike voyage to parallel dimensions marked by visions at once medieval and industrial in nature, and leaving one riveted for what the album's second half might reveal.
