The band broke up in 2000 or 2001, before the band could release another record that had already been recorded.
From http://louisvillenoise.com/v2/bands/bodyhammer.htm :
Bodyhammer was formed by Andy Schanie, Mike Harpring and Corey Lyons in the Spring of 1998. With 
this three piece lineup in place, Bodyhammer began playing out and recorded a great, raw sounding
demo cassette at an after hours recording session at WHAS televsion studios. The band went on to
become a fixture in Louisville's punk/hardcore scene despite frequent reshuffling of the band's
lineup. In the Fall of 1999, with college looming for Corey, the band's future was uncertain. The
situation was stabilized with the addition of William Benton (aka Ben) on bass and Eric Young on
second guitar. This lineup went on to do some touring and record their debut, "Die Young
Amplifiers." More lineup changes followed the release of the CD including, most significantly, the
departure of founding member Mike Hapring. Bodyhammer almost immediately began moving away from
hardcore/punk toward a sound more infused with noise and experimentation. They went on to do more
out of town shows and to record an album of their new material before Ben bowed out in the Summer
of 2002 causing Bodyhammer to call it a day.

Fuck Mike Harpring! Just kidding. Bodyhammer was not only a lineup-changing machine, they were a noisy, screamy, sometimes chaotic hardcore band in the late 90s that was kind of Born-Against-ish (in fact they covered "Mary and Child" I think it was).

The band broke up in 2000 or 2001, before the band could release another record that had already been recorded.
