Tom G. Warrior Statement"In light of the upcoming concerts by Triumph Of Death this summer, we have modified the setlist somewhat, to include some Hellhammer songs we haven't performed before or have performed only very rarely so far. And so it happened that I found myself playing Hellhammer's "Chainsaw", from the "Death Fiend" demo, for the first time in 41 years. It transported me immediately back to Hellhammer practice with Steve Warrior at the Grave Hill bunker in 1983. As ultra primitive and ultra simple as the song is, it was an utterly emotional experience. And, for some odd reason, the handful of punky proto-extreme metal riffs still work today in a very basic and peculiar way. Other songs we revived include "Buried And Forgotten", "Sweet Torment", and "(Execution) When hell Is Near", all also from 1983."
