Limited to 113 copies, this long overdue masterpiece has finally been released. This is a brutal recreation/tribute to Hellhammer, covering their entire 'Apocalyptic Raids' EP/ mini-album, plus the two bonus tracks (originally on the 'Death Metal' sampler album).
Hellhammer were the original simple, primitive, gutteral bulldozer of death. They paved the way and inspired metalheads around the world, no matter how young or amateurish, to start their own bands and get their tapes out to the underground zines and tapetraders. I only had their 'Satanic Rites' Demo for years (a fuckin classic! Whaddya mean you don't have it yet?!), but knew their album blew it away for sheer heaviness.
This tribute album was done because there have been too many shitty ones out for the past few years, and to remind Tom GAYbriel Fisher of his past, which he spit upon when Celtic Frost got huge, and now is trying to profit off of (eg. I just heard the Frost catalogue will be re-released again, with different/ original artwork, and bonus tracks...wait and see...I'm still waiting for Hypnotic to re-release all the Razor albums with Sheepdog screaming).
Trading off tracks are Megiddo, from Toronto, Ontario, Canada, and Rampage from Georgia, USA. The sound is brutal and both bands add a little bit of a different attack.
Megiddo are harsh and noisy. No drum machine any longer either, as Blaspherion Abraxas from Legion has joined. I know these guys worship Beherit's "Gates of Na-Na", so maybe that has something to do with their style. Also playing faithfully is Rampage. They have more of a Possessed "Death Metal" feel, though both bands could be switched, and except for the vocals, might not even be noticed! Yep, get this or you lose.
