Deathhammer's last full length album, Onward to the Pits, received this fulsome praise from MaF's own resident deathrasher, Michael Strong: "if you think the first albums by Sodom and Kreator were masterpieces of brutality, if being somewhat over cerebral, then you must have this album in your collection".
