I am extermination’s hammer number one!

Huarghhh!!! Yes! This title Jack Sabbath may scratch on his chest, while everybody else can take the album’s title literally! Having already released an all-destroying, excellent debut record named Damage King, Germany’s finest GORILLA MONSOON heavily up the ante with Extermination Hammer, a fucking filthy piece of doomed brutality with a nonchalant Stoner Metal/Southern Rock attitude.
Guitars are subterraneously deep, unbelievably brutal and the riffing lead-weighted. Frontman Jack Sabbaths voice is gruffy and as wickedly Whiskey-soaked as possible, made to drop your knees for, really ;)
Blasting off with Rock Me Over, GORILLA MONSOON dish up the album’s highlight High On Insanity right after. Damn I so love this song! Following My Way likewise kicks ass and here I especially love their mix of Rock and Doom. Not to forget the title track that could emerge as the band’s hymn from now on or the bastard Hatebreed. Every now and then I find the cymbals clanking a bit too much (as in Black Angel Prophecy), never mind, the guitar work grooves as hell driving you mad and killing your neck.
A little later Extermination Hammer gets a bit doomier and so more predictable. But songs don’t lose any coolness, brutality and Rock’nRoll attitude. Asskicking record! And now get the gents back on stage!
