Our Rating:
For the 40th anniversary of Warfare's second album Metal Anarchy, now for the first time on vinyl, the original rough mix cassette that Lemmy gave to Evo from Warfare is being released. These were the rough Mixes before Lemmy mixed and mastered the original album, This is raw intense speedy thrash metal with a nice bit of underlying tape hiss. Lemmy was behind mixing desk to produce Evo, Wurzel and Falken as Warfare. If you buy the Gold Vinyl it comes with a bonus 12" Single.

Turn this sucker up and let it rip at 300 MPH from your speakers, the A-side opens with Psycho Express, Evo's great throaty vocals, Wurzel's guitar runs rip up the fret board, Falken's bass thuds away at you, while you try to get off that Psycho Express, the demented things humanity does to each other.

Disgrace is something Evo can't get out of his head, he keeps getting called a disgrace, but Evo wouldn't have it any other way, Wurzel's guitars rampaging along to the crushing beats of frenetic drumming.

Death Vigilance has dark nasty guitars and vocals making clear they will never retreat and are up to fight till the death, the brutality of the 1000 miles an hour onrush of the thrashing guitars and drums beating you into submission.

Metal Anarchy is a battle-hardened rock tune, for all that metal being sprayed all over the battlefield, death and destruction created when people shoot to kill for no real reason, other than a stupid order, Wurzel goes full on maniac for a searing intense guitar solo.

Living For The Last Days is full on apocalyptic visions, of mankind laid to waste, over super taut hardcore thrash, hoping they really aren't the last days.

The B-side opens with the brutal onslaught of Electric Mayhem it's going to your brain, so long as you turn it up loud enough, really hearing just how wild the guitar solo is with crushing frazzled intensity.

The bands' theme tune Warfare is brutal hardcore distain, for those fighting on the battlefields destroying all around them. The last stand before your flesh is turned to death, super speed freak guitar solo, with Evo's machine gun drumming spraying the room with shards of pain and distress at the fact the war machine is still rolling.

Military Shadow and the brutality of war and thrash battle metal to torture your brain, like the battlefield might have left you shell shocked in the Military Shadow, a victim of all those nasty tricks.

The album closes with the far slower Wrecked Society, a place in need of decades of re-building to recover from all the Warfare, the pace picks up, they need one last mad charge, while looking around at the Wrecked Society left behind. Just let them change the world and create a better society.
