[@TheNidzhat88]

in their 60 years, they kick asses of thousands young super tech bands. Really catchy riffs of the old school and pure energy🤘🏻

[@Nofarewell]

@Theatre of Flesh comparing bands in such a way is valid. If I got it right, DH BA was a heartful, original show with the same energy as 30 years ago, whereas some (not all of course) young "super tech" bands hide behind their technical knowledge and perform miserable, soulless acts. This is my interpretation. Maybe I'm wrong.

[@Nofarewell]

@Theatre of Flesh I advise you read my comment again and you'll hopefully realize my comparison had nothing to do with your assumption, nor the original comment imho.

What I really love about Demolition Hammer was how they were a primarily thrash metal band, but listening to their sound production, tunings, and their songwriting were reminiscent of brutal death metal and grindcore bands.

@Theatre of Flesh This isn't death metal, just good old thrash. You must be new to the genre, stop making all those dumb comments pretending you know shit.

[@Bones98]

@@LittleBrother-t6n Theatre of Flesh isn't wrong to group DH in the death metal umbrella. Demolition Hammer's songwriting had a lot of death metal influences and elements. It was what made them so unique back in the day. They were heavy as fuck whereas other thrash bands sounded a bit sterile in comparison.

[@LittleBrother-t6n]

@@Bones98 There were bands playing like this before DH, Dark Angel is a good exemple from the mid 80s, you might mistake it for DM because of fast blast and double kicks and growl vocals, but DM was about the atmosphere, the low key and tremolo melodies and the variation of tempo which def gave the style the unique signature. I still understand why people would call DH Death Metal. But they are a thrash metal band. An extreme one, no doubt.

[@trucebuildman]

This is death / thrash. Akin to the more speedy / proto-death metal sound that was more early 90’s (88-91), especially in the florida “morrisound” era scene.

[@keepthemetalflowing]

So many bands nowadays could take a lesson from these guys in how to put on a live performance. The sound is tight, heavy, and pummeling. In other words: perfect. Angel Cotte does a beautiful job of being his own drummer while still paying homage to the insanity that was Vinny Daze (RIP). The whole band just rips. And Steve's vox are the perfect blend of gasoline and an acidic mix of raw power. Like Frank Mullen (formerly of Suffocation), he MAKES the vox an instrument instead of something separate. One of my absolute all-time favorite bands!!! Hail!! \m/

[@angelcotte5000]

Thanks for the kind words. Vinny was always one of my favs. Plus his parts are perfect 👌

[@keepthemetalflowing]

@@angelcotte5000 you are more than welcome!!! It's a pleasure to get a message from you!! And I meant what I said in that you're your own drummer. No one wants someone to "be" Vinny. It's like when Keith Moon passed and The Who hired Kenney Jones. He wasn't Moon but still played the parts but gave the music at that time his personality. Keep killing it with DH, Angel!!! 🤘
