Later in 2001, the band released their first full length album “The Bastard” (an epic tale told in three acts with three distinct characters/voices) on Tumult Records. Critically acclaimed, the album was voted among the top 40 releases of 2001 by the writers of Terrorizer magazine. Lamentations of the Flame Princess magazine declared 2001 to be “the Year of the Hammers” and named “The Bastard” Best Album, Best Concept Album and Best Overall Packaging.
In 2003, the band signed a deal with CRUZ DEL SUR MUSICCruz, releasing their second opus “The August Engine” by the end of the same year.
The response was again awesome. “The August Engine” was voted by BW&BK writer Chris Bruni as the best album of 2003, and received a 10/10 rating on the same magazine (“Entirely something new, and entirely something creatively masterful. 10/10” Martin Popoff, BW&BK).
Many other media voices praised the album:
* “Unmatched in 2003, The August Engine is easily one of the best records this year and one that has to be heard to truly believe just what talent they really do possess. 9/10” Adrian Bromley, Unrestrained Mag
* “If you don’t like Hammers of Misfortune, you just don’t like Metal.” John Gnesin, digitalmetal.com
* “I definitely recommend this album to anyone who enjoys metal, this is a must have”. Josh Wagers,1340mag.com

Achred The Grain is so damn epic, but not in a cheesy classic heavy metal way. (Uh, maybe a little, but I like cheese \m/) The new album is fantastic, but the sound isn't as unique as in the previous ones.

baueran Not bad, but 17th Street can't keep up with their previous catalog.

Doomfarm Huh, guess I'm the odd man out because I absolutely love the new album. It's probably going to end up in my top 10 this year.
