Warhammer are a band from Germany that plays a mixture of black, doom, death and thrash metal and this is a review of their 2025 album "Total Maniac" which was released by Van Records.
Spoken word samples start off the album before going into a heavier direction while the riffing brings in elements of thrash metal. Vocals are a mixture of 80's style death emtal growls and first wave black metal screams along with the faster sections of the songs also adding in a decent amount of blast beats.
A lot of the music is very heavily influenced by Hellhammer and sounds like what the band could of evolved into if they ever released a full length. A lot of the slower riffing shows an influence of doom metal along with the solos and leads also remaining true to an old school style when they are utilized as well as a couple of the tracks also being very long and epic in length.
Throughout the recording you can also hear a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts along with one song also being a Crude SS cover and the whole album also sticks to a heavier musical direction, all of the instruments also have a very powerful sound to them. The production sounds very old school while the lyrics cover Satanism, Occultism, Death, Terror and War themes.
In my opinion Warhammer are a very great sounding mixture of black, doom, death and thrash metal and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this band. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Angel Of Destruction" "Rise of A New Apocalypse" "Bestial Torment" and "Dying Is East". 8 out of 10.
