Another one of those bands whose history stretches back into the late 1980s but never put out a proper full length until 2020, Final Storm is the third and purportedly last Witches Hammer full length. The band was, in its early days, instrumental in helping build the Canadian extreme metal scene alongside bands like Blasphemy. The recording has an '80s style rawness to it while also being clear and well-engineered. I like how natural everything sounds and how not modern it is. The songs are polished and well-written and I'm sure some of them have been in the band's repertoire for years. If you're unfamiliar with this band but interested in classic death thrash or black metal, this should be a band you investigate immediately. This definitely isn't a record to miss out on, and it should be added to your collection post haste.
