About the album

Upon its release in 2012, Asphyx's "Deathhammer" emerged as a relentless force in the death metal realm. This album encapsulates the raw power and intense energy that Asphyx is renowned for. With Martin van Drunen's guttural vocals leading the charge, each track delivers an unyielding auditory assault. The band expertly melds doom-infused riffs with blistering speed and aggression to create a soundscape that's both ominous and exhilarating. Highlights include tracks such as "Into The Timewastes" and "Vespa Crabro," which showcase their mastery of pace variation while maintaining a cohesive sonic brutality.

Throughout "Deathhammer", Asphyx maintains their signature blend of old-school death metal aesthetics with modern production techniques. The album's title track is a testament to their enduring ability to craft anthemic compositions that resonate with fans of the genre. Whether it's the punishing rhythms of "Minefield" or the haunting melodies in "Reign Of The Brute," this record solidifies Asphyx's legacy in the annals of extreme music history.
