Demolition Hammer

Demolition Hammer were a thrash metal band hailing from the Bronx New York.

The band’s first two albums, 1990’s Tortured Existence and 1992’s Epidemic of Violence, illustrate the band’s guitar riff-laden, dual lead guitar, blast beat, full-fledged brutal thrash approach. Shortly after the release of the latter, Reynolds and Sykes decided that they wanted Demolition’s Hammer music to go in a different (and slower) direction similar to that of Machine Head, which led to the departure of both Daze and Reilly. Reynolds and Sykes recruited drummer Alex Marquez (who is best known for playing in the bands Malevolent Creation and Solstice) and recorded 1994’s Time Bomb as a trio.

Time Bomb would prove to be the proverbial swan song for the band, as the record is absent of guitar solos, quick tempo and blast beats. Drummer Vinny Daze died from Globefish poison on March 11, 1996, and the band quickly faded into obscurity. All three albums have been out of print for quite some time.

I hadn't known their records were out of print, that's too bad :(
But this band has managed to crank out some of the best thrash I've ever heard. Gammacide was another great band with a similar style.

Yeah, they're super heavy. I'm ultra impressed with 'em to the max

Great fucking band.

"Tortured Existence" kicks SERIOUS ass. 'Nuff said

Crushing band! One of the heaviest thrash bands ever.

I agree, so brutal for a thrash band. I only got into them when I picked up an album for next to nothing, and it gave me a diff perspective of what thrash could be.
