Blackhammer are a band from Italy that has been featured before in this zine with a musical style that I would describe as being blackened death metal and this is a review of their 2012 album "Damned World" which was released by Dod Incarnate Records.
Drums range from slow, mid paced to fast drumming with a good amount of blast beats being thrown into the music, while the bass playing has a very dark tone with riffs that follow the riffing that is coming out of the guitars.
Rhythm guitars range from slow, mid paced to fast blackened death metal riffs that use a more raw and primitive approach than most of the bands from this genre and there are no guitar solos or leads present on this recording.
Vocals range from grim sounding blackened death metal screams, guttural growls and spoken word elements, while the lyrics cover dark and death themes, as for the production it has a very dark, raw and primitive sound to it.
In my opinion Blackhammer are a very great sounding hybrid of black and death metal and if you are a fan of this style of music, you should check out this band. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "XII" "The Beginning Of Agony" and "Fire Above Us". RECOMMENDED BUY.
