Early 90s New York thrash


I "discovered" this >30 year old band watching a documentary on YouTube.  I had never heard of them until this past week, and decided to check them out.  I wish I had heard them back when this album came out in 1991.  It's stylistically very similar to the thrash I'm listening to these days from that same era - Sepultura's "Beneath the Remains" and "Alive", and Slayer's "Reign In Blood".  This is a great album that I'm sure will influence my songwriting.


Checking out the Wikipedia page for Demolition Hammer - it appears that two of their members left to form Deviate.  I went to iTunes and found this album, though I don't know if it's the same Deviate.  The time period would be appropriate, as this album came out in 1998, and their sound seems to be very NYC hardcore.  Regardless, this is a great album.
