Press Reviews Puszone - Next we have a totally self-made twelve-inch EP out of Canada(complete with white jacket and printed sleeves) by Witches Hammer. From the name, it's obvious that this will be some sort of death metal disc, and it holds true to form. This band is like a speeded up Venom with lots of chord changes for how short the songs are. They're fast-paced metallic doses that get to the point without overdoing it. Sure there are lots of crazed guitar speed ups and repetitious drum smacks, but what's here shows real promise. This amount of material should have been on a seven-inch, or they could have added a few more tracks to fill up some time. Most of the songs are around one minute long and Witches Hammer do some interesting things in that time limit. Appealing dark speed metal on Subversive Behavior.

Location Vancouver, b.c. - Canada
