Hammeramp

Hammeramp is an energetic Groove-Metalband that sounds a bit like Motörhead-meets-Pantera and brings high energy, dynamic live performances. It was October 2015 when Claude Vanderdonckt (drummer) and Dieter Cnudde (vocals) and Boris Aspeele (former guitarist) were having a drink at a local bar when the idea of jamming together came up. Claude invited his good colleague Thomas De Roose as lead guitar player and (at that time) bar-owner Ken De Cooman was convinced to take up the vocals, later switching to bass guitar, while Dieter Cnudde made the opposite switch.

One night Boris’s amplifier started breaking down “gasping out its last breath” sort of speak… And in a crazy attempt to fix it, Boris had the bright idea to start pounding the thing with a clawhammer he found in the garage, followed by a final “squick of death” the amp died out, leaving the entire band in tear-jerking laughter. Hammeramp was born!

After little less than a year, Boris decided that his musical interests and some physical limitations led to different paths and was replaced by Aaron Bral. At the beginning of 2022 Aaron decided to pursue his lifelong dream of becoming a full-time professional musician, creating a different band and got replaced by Wouter Van Den Bossche.
