Some bands are legendary – So is the Czechoslovakian Master’s Hammer. Hammering down metal up your ass since 1983. “Ritual” is their very first full album released back in 1991 by the unknown label Monitor. Later the album got reissued by Osmose Productions. Any true black metal prick should listen to this– Coming close to the essence of the genre. So fuck your Scandinavian scene! The songs on “Ritual” are very raw and in a way still more original than most releases nowadays. And it doesn’t sound like Marduk or Gorgoroth at all! Together with the most original screams ever this makes Master’s Hammer recognizable out of a thousand bands!
