DEATHHAMMER

Compilation CD by Norwegian Thrash/ Speed Metal maniacs DEATHHAMMER, gathering the complete early recordings of this ferocious underground outfit. The release includes the "Forever Ripping Fast" mini CD (6 tracks), the 2006 demo "Savage Poser Hunt" (5 tracks) and the 2007 demo "Wrath of the Antichrist" (2 tracks), documenting the formative years of a band that from the very beginning displayed an uncompromising devotion to the fastest, dirtiest and most unrestrained forms of 1980s Metal. Free from modern production trends and contemporary gimmicks, DEATHHAMMER embraces the spirit of the old school with remarkable authenticity.

These recordings capture a band obsessed with speed, aggression and the underground attitude that defined the first generation of Thrash Metal. Frantic riffing, savage vocals and uncontrollable energy recall the earliest works of SLAYER, DARK ANGEL, EXODUS, DESTRUCTION and SODOM, while also incorporating the Black/ Thrash savagery of BULLDOZER and the retro assault of TOXIC HOLOCAUST. An essential collection for anyone who misses the days when extreme Metal sounded dangerous, violent and completely out of control.

Recommended for fans of: SLAYER (early years), DARK ANGEL (early years), TOXIC HOLOCAUST, BULLDOZER and SODOM.
