Hammerhead is Solace's half of 2004's Blackmarket/Hammerhead split EP, re-released in 2006 on limited edition 10 inch vinyl.

Two cover songs - a title track originally by Rare Bird and Link Wray's Rumble - were described as "bombastic", "on fire", and sounding "like some New Wave of British Heavy Metal classic".
