I still remember the torn MetalHammer review from back then, and it said, and I quote: "This album is only for brewery owners and Tankard fans." I immediately thought, I like both and I have to buy the record, the reviewer is an idiot and no matter what he says, they've already made two great albums, so the next one can't be crap. I like it when those morons screw up an LP, then it gets interesting for me. So here we go.... Warfare brings back very good memories that are still etched in my mind and listening to them is always a joy and pleasure for me. Formed in the early Eighties by drummer and vocalist Evo, who was previously associated with the Blood. The band's sound is a blend of Punk and Metal, often categorized as speed or thrash metal, with a raw and aggressive edge. Warfare's debut album Pure Filth (still coming) was released in 1984 and produced by Lemmy (R.I.P.), which helped to establish their presence in the Metal scene. Their second masterpiece "Metal Anarchy" followed in 1985 and this bloody bastard, the third one Mayhem Fuckin' Mayhem (Falken on bass left and was replaced by Zlaughter) came out in 1986, again on Neat Records, and continued to build on their reputation for high-energy music with a fine Punk attitude. Throughout their career, Warfare has been known for their uncompromising sound and have maintained a cult following among fans of the heavier subgenres of metal. For me this is the last good Warfare album, after this they sound a bit too weak and without ideas like a fucking grey day in November. Anyway, eleven gems that will brighten up your day and that's all that matters, must listen!!
