Ethereal Killer is the debut album of Hammerhead, released in 1993 through Amphetamine Reptile Records.

Critical reception

City Pages called the album an "unrelenting, rage-fueled debut." The Washington Post wrote: "Thump and squeal is essential to the trio's Ethereal Killer, but close listening reveals actual musicality; buried in the mix, guitarist Paul Sanders and bassist Paul Erickson occasionally trade vocals and even harmonize."
