Eighties punk-metal power trio WARFARE are to have their early albums reissued.
The band, who came together on Tyneside at the arse end of the NWOBHM scene, were formed by singing drummer Paul 'Evo' Evans, who'd done time with THE BLOOD, MAJOR ACCIDENT and ANGELIC UPSTARTS, together with guitarist Gunner and bassist Falken.
Primitive exponensts of early thrash, they attracted attention with their 12" cover of FRANKIE GOES TO HOLLYWOOD's 'Two Tribes', on legendary North East metal label Neat Records. Their debut album Pure Filth, released in '84, was produced by SAINTS and TANK bassist Algy Ward, and featured a collaboration with VENOM, while the follow-up Metal Anarchy was produced by Lemmy. More recently, the band rerecorded early tracks with former PENETRATION guitarist Fred Purser in the producer's chair.
The band's first four albums - Pure Filth (with 5 bonus tracks), Metal Anarchy, Mayhen Fuckin' Mayhem (produced by Venom's Cronos) and A Conflict Of Hatred - are set for reissue on CD by Dissonance on 28 September. They're available to pre-order here.
