Holy Shit! This album is heavy. Actually the appropriate adjective to describe this album would be Skull Fracturing which is what the first track is called. Not heavy, brutal, or crushing but skull fracturing. Now, you have to understand the time period this album came out. It came out in the year 1992 and thrash metal at that time was practically extinct. Most of the bands of that time were either becoming Pantera/Metallica groove machines, and death metal was growing rapidly making metal into something even more evil and demonic. At the top of the charts was grunge music such as Nirvana and Pearl Jam, so thrash metal was an outlier at the time, it wasn’t the heaviest of genres anymore nor was it even popular at the time. Some of thrash albums that came out during this time showed the most ferocity and level of savagery that thrash never experienced again. Modern thrash is simply just a rehashing of older Kreator or Exodus albums, but between 1991 and 1992 some of the thrash records released at the time were some of the angriest, most barbaric, and most ruthless slabs of music this world has ever heard. Examples of some of these albums were Sepultura’s Arise, Attomica‘s Disturbing the Noise, Protectors A Shedding of Skin, and of course this album. Demolition Hammer’s music doesn’t create any atmosphere, or amaze you with bizarre musical ideas. It is simply balls to the wall aggression.
