(review) Deathhammer – Electric Warfare (Hells Headbangers Records)

Deathhammer from Norway is the spawn of two individuals called Sergeant Salsten and Sadomancer. From music, vocals to album cover, this opus, fifth full length in band´s history is total old school warfare as the title says. For those who don´t know, Deathhammer play old school mixture of energetic thrash and black metal with some eighties UK hardcore punk thrown in here and there. Think Bathory, think old Destruction and Sodom, Evil Dead, this one is a keeper. This record is full on high energy attack with songs like Return to Sodom/Soldiers of Darkness, Rapid Violence and Crushing the Pearly Gates, making your fist pump in the air, metal heart smile with joy and scream at the top of your lungs along with the lyrics and stomp on your neighbour´s head with speakers to the maximum. This is an excellent album and I recommend all of the opuses of this Norway´s old schoolers.

Punkrockers Mudfight released new single which announces new record with SBÄM Records!

“Baby! Hey! Won‘t you give me another chance?”
With these words and the first single, Mudfight start the journey towards the release of their debut album. On the one hand Baby! Hey! sets the tone you can expect on Time For Revolutio”, on the other hand it delivers an antidote against remorse and lovesickness – all in the form of an energetic punk anthem. 

Thereby the up-and-coming artists tell a story from the perspective of a person who apologizes for their behavior in a romantic relationship and asks for a second chance. Whether this person deserves it, remains unanswered … but what’s for sure is: Mudfight have come to stir up the punk scene properly! While the video for Baby! Hey! was inspired by classics like Sex Pistols’ God Save The Queen or Green Day’s Father Of All, their aim is to get the younger generation more excited about punk again. For this purpose, the newcomer from Upper Austria have chosen a performance video to introduce themselves as a band and to show what they enjoy most: being on stage and giving everything!

The video was made in collaboration with Klaus Winkler (Loprosh.tv). Fun Fact: It was shot in a church!

Baby! Hey! will be out on April 26, 2022 and is the first single from the debut album Time For Revolution, which will be released on July 15, 2022 by SBÄM Records.


Line-Up: 
Max „Max Nine“ Weidinger – Lead Vocals  
Leo „Bonsai“ Weidinger – Bass, Vocals
Alex Lausegger – Guitar, Vocals
