Review: I think Jackhammer is a good name for this band because although it gives you the impression we are talking about a hardcore/power metal band, this is a heavy metal one, but their style of playing and their sound are so hard and oppressive that it really hits your ears forcefully. I have listened to a lot of Italian heavy metal bands but this one is not typical at all to that area and I might say they are more american-oriented when it comes to musical approach. But still their major influence is Iron Maiden and they do quite a good job on this promo, especially the vocalist who's very good. I like their music: powerful, mid-paced to fast played, clear and honest. Not a band for the mainstream yet, but a good one for the underground. Contact: tony_mad@iol.it
