HAMMERWHORE - DEVOTION TO VIOLENCE 2002 (Independent, 2002)
Produced by Hammerwhore
Cover Art by Hammerwhore
Tracks: 1- Curse of the Living Dead, 2- Devotion to Violence, 3- Merciless Brutality
This is an extremely brutal release.and the first thing that got my attention was the extremely distorted (full overdrive distortion) sound that the guitars sound. The guitar riffs are bestial and fast with some thrash influences that give an interesting twist to this guys music (sort of a Venom - Black Metal / Welcome to Hell era). Hammerwhore have also a lot of hyper fast guitar solos played with some bendings and a lot of cool licks that make some manic impression to the music. The sound of this three song recording is really raw and I would mix a little bit lower the vocals and a little bit louder the bass to give some more bottom end to the riffs of this guys that are extremely heavy and this could add some more heaviness (that I think this guys would love). For lovers of extremely brutal music.
