Demolition Hammer - Epidemic of Violence

Title: Epidemic Of ViolenceArtist: Demolition Hammer
Released: 1992                                             RATING: 3.8/5

The Good: Demolition Hammer's second full-length album, Epidemic Of Violence, showcases the band's masterful, brutal Death/Thrash combination (an approach later refined by Warbringer) at it's best. The classic "Skull Fracturing Nightmare" stands tall here, with it's high-speed attack that gives way to a crushing breakdown; a true Metal anthem. The title track, "Aborticide", and "Human Dissection" are also memorable. As a whole, Epidemic of Violence is a strong release that is absolutely worth tracking down. (Released as part of Century Media's Necrology, which is a collection of D.H.'s three albums in full)

The Bad: To people not familiar with the band, some of the songs may seem to blend together and not stand out well. The material is strong, but it's hardly groundbreaking, either.
