Thorr's Hammer was formed in Ballard, Seattle, Washington by Greg Anderson and Stephen O'Malley during winter 1994–1995. Soon after, Runhild Gammelsæter, then a 17-year-old[1] Norwegian exchange student, joined the band as vocalist/lyricist. The band reached its final form when Jamie Sykes and James Hale joined. The band was active only for six weeks[1] during which it played two gigs and recorded a demo and an EP titled Dommedagsnatt. In 1997, the song "Troll" from their EP Dommedagsnatt was released on The Awakening - Females in Extreme Music,[2] a compilation album from Dwell Records.
The band disbanded after Gammelsæter's return to Oslo, Norway.[1]Burning Witch was formed from the ashes of Thorr's Hammer, and Gammelsæter collaborated with James Plotkin (Khanate) to form Khlyst. Khlyst released a full-length album Chaos Is My Name in 2006, and a live album Chaos Live in 2008.[3]
Thorr's Hammer reunited in 2009 to play at the Supersonic Festival in Birmingham, England, and again in 2010 for The Roadburn Festival in Tilburg, Netherlands. In an interview with Rock-A-Rolla magazine, Runhild Gammelsæter said the band "might make some new music" in the future.[4]
