Hanford’s Dungeon & Dragons inspired work can be seen on albums from bands Bal Sagoth. Isen Torr, Ironsword and Twisted Tower Dire among others. The concept for the piece planned for the ‘Strike While the Iron’s Hot’ release is based on the Nordic poem ‘Alvíssmál’ and is the first in a series of Blacksmith releases to come from Heaven and Hell Records.

The release titled ‘Strike While the Iron’s Hot’ will contain both the Blacksmith self titled EP from ’86, as well as the full length ‘Fire from Within’ from 1989, and rare demos of previous unreleased songs.

Glad to hear people like it. The latest three (upcoming releases) all are getting some great comments from people and I'm feeling really good about that.
We should start taking pre-order for the Blacksmith this coming week, and already have gotten order for it.
And yes we plan to be at PP this year. But not sure I'll have a lot of doom as someone in this forum suggested last year. HAHA Yeah were was that guy, I had more doom than has ever been down there with every year combined. HAHA
 
While looking at this I noticed you have a couple of Shok Paris CD's. Are they original releases, or have they been remastered? Concrete Killers is out of stock, any chance on getting it back? Love the band and have all 3 on cassette, but only the debut on CD (remaster from Auburn). Thanks.

I really don't think so, it has been gone for a while now.
But we have Blacksmith coming out:D
