│║ Description : ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ After two years of the release of ║ │
│║ ôSteelcrusherö, many shows and presentations on ║ │
│║ festivals and after conquering more and more ║ │
│║ fans, the Israeli Thrash Metal war machine ║ │
│║ HAMMERCULT is back to the front. Untamed, ║ │
│║ unrest, and still as aggressive as predator, ║ │
│║ they now are coming with their third and best ║ │
│║ album to date, ôBuilt for Warö. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ If on ôSteelcrusherö they were one of the finest ║ │
│║ Thrash Metal bands on the worldwide scene, I can ║ │
│║ for sure guarantee this: their musical fury can ║ │
│║ make legendary Thrash Metal bands become vexed ║ │
│║ from their latest album. Here there are no ║ │
│║ experimentalisms, thereÆs no place for words of ║ │
│║ excuses. ThereÆs only an abrasive and intense ║ │
│║ attack. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ So, let me speak in more clear terms: HAMMERCULT ║ │
│║ has evolved a lot since ôSteelcrusherö release. ║ │
│║ Their music still as aggressive and impacting as ║ │
│║ always, but their melodies are more evident ║ │
│║ (especially in the guitar solos), as some ║ │
│║ influences from traditional Heavy Metal (I dare ║ │
│║ to point some influence from KING DIAMOND and ║ │
│║ MERCYFUL FATE are present), and even bits of ║ │
│║ MOTORHEAD touches in some moments. Yakir still ║ │
│║ singing as aggressive as always with his high ║ │
│║ pitched tunes, but he is using some clean voices ║ │
│║ and hardcore tunes as well. Guy and the newcomer ║ │
│║ Yuval are forming a perfect duo in guitars, ║ │
│║ creating excellent and massive riffs, and great ║ │
│║ and melodic solos, and Elad Manor (bass) and ║ │
│║ Maayan (Drums) are creating a destructive, ║ │
│║ technical and heavy rhythmic basis. They have ║ │
│║ guts enough to take the hearts and souls of all ║ │
│║ Metallians that hear their music. And once more, ║ │
│║ as I said on ôSteelcrusherö review: they are ║ │
│║ doing something different and particular, far ║ │
│║ away of everything you can think about Thrash ║ │
│║ Metal.s ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ To make clear that they are serious on their ║ │
│║ conquest path, they recruited Tue Madsen (who ║ │
│║ worked previously for his works with THE ║ │
│║ HAUNTED, HEAVEN SHALL BURN, DARK TRANQUILITY, ║ │
│║ HOLY MOSES, MOONSPELL) for the mixing and ║ │
│║ mastering of ôBuilt for Warö. As a result, an ║ │
│║ aggressive and clear sound quality is presented, ║ │
│║ with every musical arrangement evident. And the ║ │
│║ cover created by PΘter Sallai (the same artist ║ │
│║ that worked with covers for SABATON, CIVIL WAR, ║ │
│║ KATAKLYSM and others) is excellent, showing ║ │
│║ clearly what the quintet is up to with their ║ │
│║ music: no governments, no banks, no bounds, no ║ │
│║ police, and no cults beside HAMMERCULT! ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Oh, you want tips about their best moments? Are ║ │
│║ you kidding OlÆ Big Daddy here? ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Give up already, all the songs are their best ║ │
│║ moments! ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ After the intro ôFrom Parts Unknownö, the ║ │
│║ massacre stars with ôRise of the Hammerö, a song ║ │
│║ not as fast as some can think, but with ║ │
│║ thunderous and catching riffs, and ferocious ║ │
│║ vocals. ôI Live for this Shitö is a fast and ║ │
│║ aggressive song, and with excellent work done by ║ │
│║ bass and drums, as ôSpoils of Warö, but this one ║ │
│║ presents some very good melodies on guitars and ║ │
│║ present some very good clean vocals. Another ║ │
│║ very fast song, but with a RockÆnÆRoll feeling ║ │
│║ that reminds something from MOTORHEAD is ║ │
│║ presented on ôReady to Rollö, presenting some ║ │
│║ very catching choruses and backing vocals ║ │
│║ (really, we are forced to sing along with them). ║ │
│║ Another powerhouse of abrasive energy with ║ │
│║ RockÆnÆRoll feeling is ôRaise Some Hellö, ║ │
│║ extremely contagious, with perfect work from ║ │
│║ drums and vocals (with some great tunes ║ │
│║ changes). The aggressive feeling is back on ║ │
│║ ôBlackened Bladeö, a thundering Thrash Metal ║ │
│║ inferno with great guitars (and fine guitar ║ │
│║ solos in Eddie ClarkeÆs way) and on ôLet It ║ │
│║ Roarö (another Thrash Metal war tank that starts ║ │
│║ with slow tempos, but soon it becomes faster and ║ │
│║ abrasive, but presenting a wonderful chorus). ║ │
│║ ôOde to Aresö is an interlude that gives us the ║ │
│║ opportunity to breathe, because ôAltar of Painö ║ │
│║ is a fast and massive bombing, but again ║ │
│║ presenting some melodic touches (especially on ║ │
│║ chorus). A mid tempo RockÆnÆRoll and ║ │
│║ uncompromised song is ôBlood and Fireö, but ║ │
│║ prepare for it is abrasive and have a pure ║ │
│║ Hardcore adrenaline. A pitch black poison full ║ │
│║ of adrenaline and fed with tons of beer is ║ │
│║ ôSaturday Night Circle Pit Fightö, a song with ║ │
│║ charming riffs and great vocals once more. And ║ │
│║ the nail in the coffin is called ôRoad to Hellö, ║ │
│║ a final blow in of stomachs, with very good ║ │
│║ drumming and great screams (and melodies in some ║ │
│║ riffs). And on LP version, you have a version ║ │
│║ for SLAYERÆs ôEvil Has No Boundariesö. And on ║ │
│║ the version CD+DVD, a show of them on Tel Aviv, ║ │
│║ recorded on 2014. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ One of the best albums of this year, and ║ │
│║ HAMMERCULT comes to conquest lands. Forget the ║ │
│║ clones and the old senile bands, for this is an ║ │
│║ album of the most pure Thrash Metal breed. ║ │
