You can change the settings in Wordpress (or other CMS) to block comments. Check Settings then Discussion.

and go general discussion and disable'everyone can comment'

or go to phpmyadmin and delete all comment at once click

Switch off comments for a week or so, it is probably bot spam so when the bot can't post it will move on.

Or try CloudFlare, they are pretty good at stopping bots.

Use Akismet Plugin to Block all Spammy Comments. Easy to use!

You should also try implement recaptcha on your comment forms on your Wordpress blog. The recaptcha can be placed anywhere that has a form and that should help you thwart those spam as tools nowadays are unable to solve recaptcha - unless if it is a paid service and that will burn the spammer's budget in the process. Recaptcha on your Wordpress login form also helps thwart those brute force attack, as if the captcha is not solved, even if the brute form guessed the right password, but the wrong recaptcha, they still do not get access.
