Thrashing Madness

Following the success of their incredible debut LP, 'Forbidden World' (High Roller Records), the current overlords of thrash metal from Sweden return in 2013 with the violent fury of "Burned Beyond Recognition!" If 'Forbidden World' was the young quintet's 'Show No Mercy,' it's safe to say that this single can only mean the next LP will be their 'Hell Awaits'—this is heavy metal taken to levels of extremity not seen since! The B-side is an impressive rendition of "Kill with Napalm,' originally a demo track by cult Croatian thrash band Evil Blood. Worshipers of the ancient gods Slayer, Kreator and Possessed take note!

Antichrist - "Burned Beyond Recognition"

30 years ago, four teenagers from New Jersey set out to create a Thrash Metal band in the vein of their favorite bands at the time: Slayer and Metallica (the band even initially called themselves Phantom Lord). The result, however, was something faster, louder and unbelievably violent, as evidenced by the group's five-track demo tape, 'Morbid Invasion.' 

1986 was a turning point for the genre; the aforementioned bands were already well-established and had nothing to prove. Thrash Metal as a whole wimped out. Fantom Warior, however, was just getting started, looking to make a statement with their brutal Power Thrashing Metal. Guitarists Keith Pires and Steve Schley had a precision in their playing that was lethal in its execution and never lost its edge despite the break-neck speeds. Drummer James Jensen effortlessly kept up the pace while bassist/vocalist "Big" John Chernack had a voice that was far more powerful than anyone else in the genre at the time. This tape received critical acclaim in zines around the world and is still revered today in the Metal underground—Fenriz of legendary Black Metal band Darkthrone has even cited 'Morbid Invasion' to be one of his favorite demos of all time! 

Electric Assault Records is proud to present this important piece of Underground Metal history in the best possible way: on glorious virgin vinyl. The source for the material was taken from the band's own personal archives, which was then given to Jack Control of Enormous Door Mastering where the audio was carefully treated to ensure the best possible and most dynamic sound for both vinyl and digital. In addition, this release will include a booklet of rare photos and flyers, not seen outside of the band's circle, an interview conducted by former Slayer zine editor Jon "Metallion" Kristiansen and liner notes from fans such as Fenriz and RG of Black Anvil, who formerly fronted the band when they were known as Phantom Lord. This is the ultimate testament to one of Metal's most criminally overlooked bands!

Evo (headmaster of metal punk crossover merchants Warfare) and Algy Ward (leader of the original Tank as well as temporary member of punk legends The Damned and The Saints) team up for this spectacular mini-album entitled »Damned Unto Death«. A musical marriage made in heaven (or hell if you prefer). Both, Evo and Algy Ward, were early pioneers in bringing together punk and metal music in the very early 1980s. Warfare and Tank never cared about conventions, playing to a mixed audience of spiky haired punks and metalheads, thus paving the way for future generations of bands. It’s only logical that Evo and Algy have finally decided to join forces on »Damned Unto Death«.

Evo&Algy-Anger,Violence,Hatred

Leaders. Not followers. Evo is one of those leaders. A true innovator. A musical genius. And quite a controversial character. Some people have called him the “original metal punk”. Warfare was his vision. Along with Motörhead, Tank and Venom Evo took metal out of the castles and dungeons onto the streets.
