Still different but it couldn't be anyone else, I think as he's aged there's a hint of Mille Petrozza from Kreator in his voice which isn't a bad thing.
Because this is a monstruous german SONOR kit with power toms from the eighties. This drumkit sounds phenomenal. Now everybody uses short toms and hit drums like pussies.
@@DictiusTeNecare I'm no expert but it should be a Sonor Phonic Plus. Don't know why Power toms are no longer made by popular manufacturers. Dictius Te Necare is a Beast of an album. Love Bethlehem
@@mathieu2405 Yeah Bethlehem Dark Metal and Dictius Te Necare are very great albums! I have a old Sonor Force 2000 of the 80's that i will build like in the style of this Phonic Plus 🙂
bought To Mega Therion simply because of the album cover. bought Apocalyptic Raids simply because of the album cover. in that order. was not aware that they were both by this man who would form my taste of music forever. i am forever grateful to Tom Warrior.
I am Tom G Warrior freak too. I first bought "Morbid Tales" when was 12 in 1984. I had started metal at 8 with KISS,RUSH, Ozzy, and Black Sabbath in 1980. I still love those bands as my favorites, but in the middle 1980s I became a thrash freak. I still am! I love all metal from classic to black metal. But anyways, I got to see Celtic Frost on the "Into The Pandemonium" tour opening for Anthrax and Exodus in 1987. It was an incredible show! I was 15 by then. It was at Aragon Ballroom in Chicago.
sorry to dissapoint but the cover of to mega therion is not from tom. it is from h.r. giger. btw tom dont have all the credit for his bands. martin ain did alot of the music too.
@@godetonter4764 What? Are you deaf or blind? This man is one of the gratest musicians of all times. You speak like you were better than him. 😒 Probably you just like shitty comnercial bands.
Scandinavian raw punk bands , and Discharge from uk,was extreme years before than Hellhammer, Listen to, The shitlickers silence ep 1982,or kuole noise fron the sick city 1983 or Asocial how could hardcore be anyworse 1982.. etc etc.. cheers
I don't get how people hated this when they got started. Sure it is very unique, harsh, and pulverizing (Which is the point!) Part of me likes a lot of this more than Celtic Frost, but I also love Celtic Frost. That drum sound!!!! Man...I hope Tom G Warrior lives forever. He does not get the credit he deserves being a black metal pioneer. Next to Quorthon, Tom is truly the father of the modern black metal sound. RIP Eric Martin Ain. And before I get flamed for not giving Venom credit, I know they are the originators of the form. However, THE black metal sound started with Bathory, Mayhem and this very band right here.
Hellhammermaniacs of the world unite! That is why I find all the three records before ''ITP'' (Morbid Tales, Emperor's Return and TMT) to be upgraded and updated extensions of the Hellhammer essence - it's impossible that everything had been obliterated overnight, according to legend , on the night eve of June 1st 1984. This manifestation here means TGW has been persuaded by decades of (morbidly?) faithful fan-pressure, that Hellhammer's music still makes sense today. Not a revival, not even survival - it's the claim of Time, honouring as much as devouring.
@@acidbatharchive For sure, it is just interesting for all of the "true cult" black metal types to complain about how raw it was. It was new, first wave, which explains why its re-emergence is so amazing. Some of us just do not deserve the art we are given in the time it happens. (The Rite of Spring, etc.)
Simply brilliant. I didn't think I'd ever see Hellhammer play live again. Great music selection, even if my favorite piece was unfortunately not there.
Massive credit to Tom Warrior for taking the newer, darker and heavier sound he acquired over his career and then applying it Hellhammer's classics with this project. Harsh and brutal! \m/
Das ist so sympathisch was er da nach den "Uhhh" Rufen sagt. Komische Starallüren wurden bei ihm bestimmt vor Jahrzehnten schon tief in den Schweizer Bergen begraben. Hätte ihn auch gern immer mal kennen gelernt. Für mich und meine Band Old war er, wie auch bei sooo vielen anderen Bands, der musikalische Haupteinfluss!
Ich nannte es immer "das gute U" . . . ist ein running gag seit vielen Jahren . . . Oder : "Ey, willste ein U kaufen . . . " Pssst . . . nicht so laut . . .
@@hmpz36911 trick is i heard, treble on guitar all the way down ,amps all to ten . helps to get a flying v or Ibanez destroyer and I believe an Ibanez distortion pedal. ?
@@mikekrause3671 Tone knob down, Ibanez bridge humbucker (if it matters, the Iceman and Flying V have slightly short scale-lengths), Ibanez TS9 pedal tone maxed/drive low/level high into a Marshall JCM 800 overdriven with tone controls maxed, loud as fuck for feedback. And watch videos for Tom's hand tone/technique. I'm fairly certain all of his power chords are just the fundamental and a fifth, no octave with the pinky. This is info I wish I would have found all at once, but here it is for anyone who wants to get close for covers etc.
Tom G. Warrior is the real Pioneer of the Black Metal sound which is the 1st Wave and then Black/Thrash as I say what his genre is cause Hell-Hammer and Celtic Frost were the band's I got into this vibe is chilly and cold while I listened to it just hits different and Eric Martin Ain is a huge influence as well R.I.P to the Legend😢💀😈.
I fuckin' loved this band back in the 80's when they first came out and took so much shit from my metal and punk friends for liking it. Watching it now chokes me up. It meant so much to me when I was a kid and I had forgotten how much I loved it. Thanks Tom, for reminding me of what was and is important in metal.
Motorhead was the original influence. Then Venom, but Tom G Warrior really lit the fire for Black Metal. Right there with them was Sodom and their first two releases, Sign of Evil and Obsessed By Cruelty. America had superstar metal bands like Slayer and Metallica, but the Europeans have the true sincerity, and it shows. Been like that since the beginning, and still like that today
The guitar Tom is playing is an Ibanez RR50. That thing was discontinued in 1982. So it seems he's actually using the very guitar those songs were originally written on.
In the old fanzine 83." venom is killing music, hellhammer is killing venom" when apocalypt.raids came, we freaked out, totally.and the older metalfans in hamburg laughts at us. But their favorite bands split all off. And hellhammer, c.f.tripticon?full power 40years later. Forgotten how i loved the messiah song
Tom didn't wanted to answer question about Hellhammer back in the mid 90s. I think he hated Hellhammer. Well, things change it's sure. Hellhammer Satanic Rites, that 90s bootleg CD has the best sound of them all. The official re-issues are too compressed at least for my taste and the source is the early pic.disc = bootleg CD = official CD/LP.
Wow!! Big CF fan, but never liked Hellhammer because to me it sounded so bad and thin production-wise on the original recordings. I can't believe how heavy and amazing these songs sound live in this set! 🤘😆🤘
what i really enjoy the most about these guys contributions to heavy black metal is they didn't compromise or hold back much at all and let the expressions in the music the at times bananas rhythm patterns they certainly helped to give this genre more depth more color and more life and as long as heavy metal and yes black metal too brings more of the outside in so its isn't so exclusive so as to alienate people but this music is more about building up the individual or individuals helping them to feel less alienated and alone.
