He performed in the gothic rock bands Requiem in White from 1985 to 1995 and Mors Syphilitica from 1995 to 2002, both with his then-wife Lisa Hammer.

Early life
Hammer was born in Ledyard, Connecticut.[3] He has stated that his hair naturally grows in both black and blonde, a condition he attributes to "a pigmentation problem or a birthmark or something. But my hair is naturally like this... Kinda. Because my eyebrows are black, I used to dye my whole head that color. Also, I used to enjoy looking like Dracula for some asinine reason."[3] He suffers from Ménière's disease, a disorder of the inner ear that can affect hearing and balance.[3] He is a self-taught oil painter.[4]
Personal life
He adopted the pseudonym "Doc" in the mid-2000s.[3]
