3	Hammers of Misfortune are an American ProgressiveMetal band from San Francisco, California. The group was founded by John Cobbett, ex-guitarist of Music/SloughFeg, under the name Unholy Cadaver before naming themselves after a song on their demo EP. Starting as a DeathMetal band, the group had long since began to incorporate HeavyMetal, DoomMetal, and FolkMetal to their sound, among other genres of music.

38	!!Hammers of Misfortune provides tropes for:
39
40	* BadassBoast: A few, "The Dragon Is Summoned" begins with a rather great one;
41	-->I am the maelstrom's deafening song\
42	The ether through which the fallen descend\
43	I am the frightful dance of the flames\
44	The pain of creation and violent end\
45	I am the {{sculptor\|s}} of wreckage and ruin\
46	The creator and destroyer of all\
47	Where is the sacrifice unto my shrine?\
48	Where is the blood I took for my wine?
49	* GenreMashup: Especially in their early works, which was a hybrid of ProgressiveMetal, HeavyMetal, FolkMetal, BlackMetal, and DoomMetal.
50	* HarshVocals: At times, mostly seen in their demo and ''The Bastard''.
51	* HorsemenOfTheApocalypse: "Famine's Lamp" mentions Famine, Pestilence, Death, and War in that order.
52	* NatureMetal: Hammers of Misfortune recorded their debut "The Bastard", which is a dark fantasy tale about an orphan who murders a tyrant king, and allows the beasts, plants, and creatures of the forest to destroy all civilization in the surrounding area. In the end, he learned that he is really a forest sapling that was turned into a human, and little more than a pawn in a Dragon's scheme to get rid of the humans.
53	* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: "Trot Out the Dead" delivers a pretty hefty one;
54	-->If the people wonder at the suffering you've caused \
55	And your massive avarice has left them at a loss \
56	If by chance they notice your bloody snapping jaws \
57	the blood upon your claws \
58	your shifty eyes and laws \
