Hammerhead is Solace's half of 2004's Blackmarket/Hammerhead split EP, re-released in 2006 on limited edition 10 inch vinyl.

Recorded at New Alliance Studios in Boston, MA, Hammerhead found Solace "experimenting with some new styles to nice effect".[1] Two cover songs - a title track originally by Rare Bird and Link Wray's Rumble \- were described as "bombastic",[1] "on fire",[2] and sounding "like some New Wave of British Heavy Metal classic".[3] An original track ("Cement Stitches") harkens back to Solace's Punk and Hardcore roots [4] with "cool harmonic breakdowns"[3] and vocals "that can go from a solemn Ian Curtis baritone to a wailing Chris Cornell banshee shriek".[5]

This album's cover art was done by Solace friend and repeat cover-artist Paul Vismara. Originally released as half of a split EP with Albany, NY's Greatdayforup. This release was limited to 500 copies.

### Side two[edit]

Lyrics to "Cement Stitches" have never been officially released. It is commonly believed that the intensely personal nature of vocalist Jason's lyrics prevent him from allowing their publication.
