Found on another lost page from the history of the glorious years of thrash metal (from the early 80s to late 90s) is a band from New York, Demolition Hammer, who built their foundation in 1990 and brought flavors of thrash metal to their zenith, creating a perfect concoction of death and thrash metal on a record that annihilates the senses from the first note.

This is one of the best albums ever made. The combination of the sheer intensity with the crusty, angry vocals along with constant ear-raping riffs, shredding, and blast beats makes this one of the best albums I've ever heard.

Pyroclastic Annihilation might be the best song ever

I never got anything by them, but I used to hear "Skull Fracturing Nightmare" all the time on Monday nights on a college radio station in my area. Always loved that song.

Pyroclastic Annihilation has to be the most geologically sound metal song ever produced.

Awesome album

the aggressive intensity shown on this album is phenomenal, and the vocals are harsh and angry and bring new brutality to this album

highly recommended to any thrash heads

I haven't always been too big on thrash, but I've definitely been getting into it more lately...didn't expect much from this album since isn't one of the better known classics of the genre. But, I was surprised at how good it is. I will definitely be buying this soon.

Thrash was still somewhat a legitmately large scene in '92 even though it was several years past its peak.

A lot of 2nd/3rd wave thrash groups released their final gems within the next few years. Most of them just aren't well known because the scene died out before they could gain any momentum commercial-wise.

Awesome album, a Thrash metal masterpiece.

But, btw at you 2, the 90's were filled with incredible thrash, even passed 92. Obviously you have ''Tortured Existence'' again by Demolition Hammer, but you have much more, ''Rigor Mortis Vs. The Earth'' by Rigor Mortis, ''Arise'' by Sepultura, ''Mental Vortex'' by Coroner, ''A Vision of Misery'' by Sadus, ''Restless & Dead'' by Witchery, ''Choir of Horrors'' by Messiah, ''Unholier Than Thou'' by Infernäl Mäjesty, ''Twisted Into Form'' by Forbidden, ''Destroy Erase Improve'' by Meshuggah... and that's to name but a few.

Yeah I agree that some (whatever wave) might have released some of their final jewels, but alot were just beginning even if the ''SCENE'' was dead, for example Solstice with their self-titled debut, obviously I already named Witchery, also a first effort by Nocturnal Breed. A critical change in Absu's sound with ''The Third Storm of Cythraul'' making them IMO one of the best Black Thrash act. Then again Annihilator were only at their second effort ''Never, Neverland'' which was excellent thrash *from Canada babyyy, eh eh* (...)

Anyways I don't like when people flame too quickly the 90's thrash. Nothing personal.

This is by far my favorite Thrash metal album ever released, and it's probably one of the few albums I'll ever rate with a 10.
This thing is so heavy that if any band ever releases something better than this I'm pretty sure even atoms will start to divide themselves starting a massive cataclysm of the universe, ending the whole existence as we know it.
I really LOVE this album.

This album is ridiculously awesome, doesn't get much more brutal thrashing than this. When it comes to quality thrash metal, Epidemic of Violence is one of those essential albums you just have to own.
