WARHAMMER - Abattoir Of Death 1985 Digi-CD

Limited to 300 copies.

Of the insane number of bands out there that released a few demos before disappearing into obscurity, Warhammer is one of the more impressive ones. Abattoir of Death opens with a lead guitar playing a melody similar to the theme from Halloween, which opens the song fittingly titled "Halloween". While I do think that this melody goes on for too long, the song breaks into straightforward thrash metal about a minute in, which I have to say shocked me with its tightness and musical adequacy. The bass is loud and rumbly, the drums are tight, and the riffs are pure chaos. It actually reminds me of Sadus at some points, and this death/thrash sound is retained throughout the demo.
