Being the best in the world at something is always a badge of honour, even if it is in a genre where you're the only one.
As trailblazers of the NWOBATABHM (New Wave Of Bay Area Thrash And British Heavy Metal), Brainhammer have carved out a deep gash in the rock universe with their ear canal-battering riffs and visions of mystical-yet-hellfire-saturated worlds. It doesn't hurt that their lead singer has actual Viking blood in his veins, going berserker-mode each and every night in the aim of conquering their audience of devoted "Hammerheads".
Some bands may proclaim themselves the fastest or the heaviest, but when you're the second heaviest and third fastest, that's a killer combination.
