Nuclear War
Now! Productions
Ten years have passed since the release of
Nuclearhammer’s last album, with the members more or less contributing to a
variety of other projects (namely Necropolissebeht, Nirriti, Azothyst, etc.).
Fast forward to 2023, and Nuclearhammer unleash a surprise attack with this
twenty-six minute beast called “Xaos Tenawas - Demo MMXXIII”, which features
two lengthy compositions of hateful, bestial death/black metal that is
characteristic of their sound. The guitars form an extremely grim backdrop,
backed by vengeful vocals and hard-hitting drums that viciously pound the
listener into submission as the suffocating darkness grips you tighter and
tighter. It is the band's ability to create an oppressive atmosphere full of
nightmarish soundscapes that leaves a feeling of disorientation and dread
within the listener. If you liked “Serpentine Hermetic Lucifer”, then you will
undoubtedly love this demo as well, as it more or less follows the same
sadistic formula. The overlords of Canadian black/death filth are back to give
us a taste of the future. For fans of Antediluvian, Impetuous Ritual, and
Teitanblood.
