The impact of Swiss extreme metal forefathers Hellhammer is one that still resonates around the global metal scene today, such was their influence on the early extreme, death, and black metal genres. In the 40 years that have passed since their humble beginnings in Switzerland,, they have gained a mythically iconic status despite existing for a mere two years. In light of this legacy, it is almost inconceivable that Hellhammer never performed this music on stage.
The resurrection of the music of Hellhammer had been an idea Tom Gabriel Warrior and Martin Eric Ain discussed for many years, but wasn't realised until 2019.Triumph Of Death consists of individuals who not only love the music in question but truly understand it. The line-up emulates Hellhammer's final incarnation of April/May 1984, when the group had added an additional guitarist.

What are you doing next full moon. My altar has a vacancy for someone like you... can we expect 4gal of blood or are you one of my plus size customers?
i remember getting the original hellhammer apocalyptic raids vinyl (yes, original issue) and being fascinated with the imagery of the band members. and the song massacra was the first one i remember . and the lyrics "mankind will never learn, that religion is created by man" still holds alot of weight for me personally.
This captures that feeling of treading new ground like the original recordings do. It was all competitive imagination and Tom was one of the forerunners. I could listen to more extreme artists that came later, but it still doesnt quite capture that feeling of eerie novelty. Love what Tom is doing with this project
This is great. It has the obvious rabid influence that Venom had on Hellhammer in full effect PLUS the Warrior/ Ain X factor of taking it to another level. What a concert! Red vinyl ordered. Such poetic justice too. A brilliant finger up to the asshole reviewers in Sounds, Kerrang (puke), etc. in the early 1980's who had no idea which way the wind was blowing and couldn't handle it (Bloody Pussies)!
