Bonehammer's latest release, Through Blood, is an unapologetic barrage of crushing riffs, thunderous drums, and guttural vocals. From the opening track, "Bloodlust," it's clear that this album is not for the faint of heart. The band's sound is heavily influenced by classic death metal, with nods to thrash and black metal throughout.
What sets Bonehammer apart from their peers is their ability to inject melody and groove into their songs without sacrificing any of their brutality. Tracks like "Eternal Suffering" and "Infernal Dominion" showcase the band's skill at crafting memorable hooks that stick in the listener's head long after the album has ended.
The production on Through Blood is top-notch, with every instrument and vocal perfectly balanced in the mix. The guitars have a thick, meaty tone that cuts through the mix, while the drums sound like they were recorded in a cavernous hall.
