Band Superhammer hails from Indjija, and they've decided that by re-releasing their first EP to revard their faitful fans. And then they've done even more than that. They've succeded to make of this release a must have collectionary item. Naimely, three songs of their EP - „Boogieman,“ „Emptines Inside of Me“ and my personal favorite „The World of Today“ - are completely re-recorded, with the vocal duties covered by Luika Tower Matković, whose credits are for the production, mixing and mastering of the material in his Citadela Studio. Luka, Luka, what have you done with those songs? You breeded in them completely new life, somehow hidden in them all this time, gave them some new wings, that for some reason was not used 'till now. Well known rifffs of master Milan Brkić have got some new poison on this release, some additional strength in their punches, even if they were already leaving deep bruises. Solos are even more convincing, played with extra emotion in them, which is the evidence of additional work on the same old songs, and that is for respect, because it gives us a picture of Superhammer as the band that never finishes none of its songs, but constantly seaks new ways to play those songs even better. Respect! Stevan Voivod has mastered his drumms and follows Igor Jimmy Stanić on bass, both protecting the back of one guitar.
As a bonus songs on this release we have the track „Diamong Gates“ from bands first full-length Sneaknest, with their ex-singer Boris Supan on the mike. After Supans deaprting, his boots were filled up by Miloš Krsmanović from band Thundersteel. This change, at least in my ears, brought a little change in the bands sound. Naimely, bend has moved more towards classical heavy metal sound, but with still present stoner foundation that simply cannot be errased and become unnoticeable. So, this song we could describe as modern stoner classical heavy metal song, fresh and new. Would that mean that the band will continue in this direction, we will see, if Krsmanović would stay in the band and if succedes in imposing his style. Personally, I believe that he should be left to develop in Superhammer singer as he sees himself.
Great release, better, more modern, more poisonous, in comparison with the first EP. During the time of awaiting new album of the band, this release serves as something to quiet our hunger for new Superhammer material, stoner a la Indjija. Well done guys!
