      | two tribes, 1984 noise, filth & fury, 1984 this machine kills, 1984 pure filth, 1984 total death, 1985 metal anarchy, 1985 mayhem, fuckin' mayhem, 1987 a conflict of hatred, 1988 hammer horror, 1990 deathcharge (live), 1991 decade of decibels, 1993 Here are most Warfare records. Missing: RADIO HELL (split w/Venom and Raven) and a full rip of "deathcharge". "Metal City" does not provide any alternate version of either Venom or Warfare songs so I won't waste bandwith. Anyone selling "radio hell" or "deathcharge" should get in touch ASAP. Fun facts: most records done at Impulse by Keith Nichols (like Venom). "Pure Filth" was produced by Algy Ward, who plays guitar on "Hammer Horror". "Metal anarchy" was produced by Lemmy. Cronos plays bass on "Mayhem, fuckin' mayhem" (and sings on the "You're really got me" cover). Mantas plays guitar on "Decade of decibels" and a "conflict of hatred". Evo (main man, drums & vocals) had previously played in several cult bands such as Chaotic Dischord, Angelic Upstarts and the Blood, and many others. And I'm sure we can find more exciting trivia (like: yes, "Two Tribes" is a Franky Goes to Hollywood cover, zer). Thank you Evo for this amazing collection of 80s thrash metal punk, at the zenith of which "Mayhem, fuckin' mayhem" shines in all its splendid putrefaction. There was Venom, Tank, Bulldozer, Backwater, Sodom, Bathory, Celtic Frost - and WARFARE !!! ZERRRR !!!! Metal anarchy, hammer horror & decade of decibels : CD rip. Everything else: vinyl rip. The "pure filth" rip contains both last songs : UK version with "rose petals fall from her face" (w/Venom) and Canadian version with "noise, filth & fury". I still do not own a copy of "deathcharge", I found this rip on a torrent. It is pretty bad, with incomplete songs and changing sound levels.

Excellent post, Warfare were a great band up to "Mayhem Fuckin' Mayhem".
ReplyDeleteBTW, there were actually 2 versions of "Hammer Horror" : the original 9 track version, and the remixed, re-record 16 track version.
Having heard both, I can attest to the fact that they suck equally.
Do yo uhappen to have the Warhead (Evo, Algy, Wurzel) CD to upload?
ReplyDeleteHey man great blog! This is my dream come true! Thank you so much for uploading these bad boys. Warfare is my #1 fav. band. Cheers!
ReplyDeleteAWESOME...I would say it sounds like a mixture of Venom, Motörhead and GBH
ReplyDeleteAgreed! Powerful, dirty, groovy and very catchy songs - these guys had a gift. I love them as much as 25 years ago, this is totally classic!
ReplyDeleteThanks for this, can listen again now without scratching my tasty old vinyl! Did they ever get around to recording 'Wake me Up Before You Go-Go'?
ReplyDeleteAnd if anybody has the Phil Foetus All Nude Review 12" 'Bedrock' available for upload I would be eternally grateful :)
