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.
