DEMOLITION HAMMER

Demolition Hammer came out of the Bronx in the mid-80s and quickly earned a reputation for being one of the most uncompromising forces in American thrash metal. Their sound has always been about pure intensity: tight, violent riffing, sharp shifts in tempo, and a vocal style that hits with real weight. It’s the kind of thrash that edges into death metal territory without ever losing that raw, street-level feel. 🤘🔥

What makes them stand out after all these years is how focused they are when they play live. No posing, no unnecessary talk – just a barrage of riffs delivered with the same attitude they had back in the day. You feel that connection between the musicians too: Steve Reynolds on vocals and bass, James Reilly and Derek Sykes on guitar, and Angel Cotte on drums pushing everything forward with precision and drive.

If you want a set that reminds you why extreme thrash became such a defining force in the first place, Demolition Hammer is the real deal. This is the type of show you don’t skip, because their energy doesn’t fade – it hits exactly where it should.
