---- 1. WARFARE - Metal Anarchy: The Original Metal-Punk Sessions CD HRR 453 CD -Electric Mayhem -Wrecked Society -Warfare -Metal Anarchy -Psycho Express -Living For The Last Days -Military Shadow -Disgrace Tyneside’s Warfare are widely considered to have been the original metal punks. The band was formed by drummer Evo in late 1983. Evo had learned his trade in legendary Oi! Band Major Accident from Darlington. Leaving Major Accident Evo moved to London and briefly joined The Blood (whose »False Gestures For A Devious Public« is a classic early crossover/metal album, which peaked at number 62 in the official UK charts in 1983). Before creating his own monster, Evo also had a short spell drumming for the Angelic Upstarts, one of the original British oi! bands (from South Shields). However, in late 1983 it was time for Evo to form his own band. Together with Gunner on guitar and Falken on bass Warfare was formed. The album »Metal Anarchy: The Original Metal-Punk Sessions« is the last in this three-part series released by High Roller Records and collects eight early Warfare recordings of songs such as “Electric Mayhem”, “Warfare”, “Psycho Express”, “Military Shadow” and “Disgrace”. All eight songs later ended up on the proper »Metal Anarchy« album issued by Neat Records in 1985 (with former Motörhead guitarist Würzel lending a guest performance on the title track). However, the versions to be found on »The Original Metal-Punk Sessions« are vastly different, often played much faster than on the original album. Some of the songs have even been recorded on 24 tracks. In Kerrang! magazine Dane Bonutto wrote about Warfare: “This lot are like the guys who in 1977 grew their hair a bit longer than the guys who were into the Pistols and decided to play heavy metal, but it’s the same kind of mentality behind it really, even down to the title. There is a market for this kind of thing.” Although an official VHS tape of live footage was released later on, Warfare did not tour an awful lot following the release of »Metal Anarchy« on Neat Records. Evo explains: “I was too dangerous and cost the record company far too much money when I did go out live, setting our vans and promoters on fire, pissing in amps, smashing people’s faces in, draining pigs of blood to throw at audiences. Just the usual things.” Having been asked time and time again, Evo ends all rumours of Warfare reforming once and for all: “Warfare will never be resumed. There was a time and that time is gone. That’s why I am doing a solo album as I have had another vision, my first-ever solo album. I have been asked many times over the years to do this but this time it just felt right. It will leave Warfare gasping for breath, both in insanity and pure driving rock filth.” The material on »Metal Anarchy: The Original Metal-Punk Sessions« has been carefully re-mastered by Patrick W. Engel at his Temple Of Disharmony studio. 2. WARFARE - Pure Filth: From the Vaults of Rabid Metal CD HRR 452 CD -Warning -Total Armageddon -Burn Down The Kings Road -Collision -Rabid Metal -Breakout -Dance Of The Dead -Limit Crescendo -This Machine Kills
Tyneside’s Warfare are widely considered to have been the original metal punks. The band was formed by drummer Evo in late 1983. Evo had learned his trade in legendary Oi! Band Major Accident from Darlington. Leaving Major Accident Evo moved to London and briefly joined The Blood (whose »False Gestures For A Devious Public« is a classic early crossover/metal album, which peaked at number 62 in the official UK charts in 1983). Before creating his own monster, Evo also had a short spell drumming for the Angelic Upstarts, one of the original British oi! bands (from South Shields). “I got on very well with Mensi from the Upstarts,” says Evo today.
However, in late 1983 it was time for Evo to form his own band. Together with Gunner on guitar and Falken on bass Warfare was formed. The album »Pure Filth: From The Vaults Of Rabid Metal« collects nine early recordings of songs such as “Total Armageddon”, “Collision”, “Breakout”, “Dance Of The Dead” and “Limit Crescendo”. The bulk of the material ended up on the proper »Pure Filth«, recorded at Impulse Studios and issued by Neat Records in 1984. However, the versions to be found on »From The Vaults Of Rabid Metal« are totally different, often played much faster than on the original album. Some of the songs have even been recorded on 24 tracks. Missing from this collection of high-quality pre-album recordings is “Rose Petals Fall From Her Face”, on which Cronos of Venom shared the vocals with Evo in the studio. To produce »Pure Filth« Evo had asked an old friend for help: Algy Ward of Tank was responsible for the production of the album.
Back in 1984, the British press was not really sure about how to describe Warfare’s revolutionary sound. For example, Bernhard Doe wrote in Metal Forces: “Quite simply, »Pure Filth« boasts some of the best death metal ever to come out of the UK.”
Even today Evo can still remember some incidents in the studio preparing to record »Pure Filth«: “It was a long time ago. I know I had a vision of what I wanted to sound like. I do remember blowing up a Marshall amp. And the studio saying I owned the money for it.”
Lyrics to songs such as “Burn The Kings Road” or “Total Armageddon” were a whiff of fresh air for the stagnating English metal scene of the mid-1980s. “The lyrics of Warfare are more than valid, they are essential,” says Evo nowadays. “The lyrics are of uncanny proportions. Looking back now it seems that they were a prediction of what was to come.”

WARFARE - Noise Noise Noise (The Lost Demos) CD HRR 444 CD -New Age of Total Warfare -Burn Down the Kings Road -Rabid Metal -Break Out -Limit Crescendo -Two Tribes (In Dub Demo Version) -Alternative Hardcore -Extreme Finance -Order of the Dragons -Fatal Vision -Phantom of the Opera -Prince of Darkness -Death of a Circus Clown (Chapter One)
Mastered from an archive audio cassette by Patrick W. Engel at TEMPLE OF DISHARMONY in March 2015
I knew from a very early age dreaming was a form of creating and through the school years it was “be like him, he’s good at maths, get an apprenticeship, a trade”, predictability FUCK THEM ALL I’LL BE WHAT I WANT. Although highly intellectual I suffered five horrible years in grammer school I was fucked if I was going to do another fifty getting up at 7am day in day out, so I left my other mates at the railway works and started out on my very own adventure putting two fingers up to the accepted ways, I escaped ran away, no fastens, no ties, bright lights, travelling funfairs, loud fuckin rock n roll, FREEDOM. Sitting on the steps of The Thames waiting to go into rehearsals with The Blood and make an absolute fuckin racket. On this album you have some of my dreams painted to a backdrop of hard rock music. I was the powerhouse drummer in Major Accident, The Blood, Angelic Upstarts rocking in London at the height of the second revolution, however, there was something on my mind and in 1984 I signed to Roadrunner Records and created my ultimate dream, my punk metal creation was born, WARFARE. Driving my music through many uphill struggles it was harder than it may seem fronting your own band many musicians including Cronos and Mantas from Venom, Algy Ward from The Damned and Tank, Lemmy and Wurzel from Motorhead all helped me with my dream, however, it wasn’t a dream it was reality. After many successful albums my rock n roll dreaming ran out of ideas and the war had ended, but in my life the war will never end. Here you have thirteen really rare demo’s and I make no apologies for the sound as some were recorded with the best of equipment and some straight to 2” and 4 track. Play them on full volume with no remorse and a Fuck You attitude, with complete abandon to conformity in a crap house of a world that we live in you know it makes perfect sense victims.
EVO
2015
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. Street metal. “I had already been mates with Algy and Lemmy when I met Cronos during my time at Neat Records,” comments Evo on the relationship between Warfare, Tank, Motörhead and Venom. “I’d never heard of Venom... until then.” Evo and Cronos quickly became mates as well and the Venom founder joined Warfare for the song “Rose Petals Fall From Her Face” on Warfare’s legendary debut album »Pure Filth«.
“The whole concept and creation was mine and I guided it through life until I got bored with it all,” explains Evo the evolution of Warfare. But before getting his own project off the ground the drummer had already made history in other outfits. He was the drummer in Major Accident, legendary oi! band from Darlington (and one of the first along with The Adicts to fully embrace the clockwork orange image). Evo would not want to miss his time with Major Accident: “It was very good fun and their stuff was really fast to play. I played Santa Monica Civic with Major Accident and I was totally knackered after an one-hour show in front of thousands of fans. But as usual, in a quest to be leader of my own and, I fucked off to London to join The Blood.”
The Blood was yet another mid-80’s metal/punk crossover outfit which showed a lot of promise but was too far ahead of its time. “Yes, I agree,” says Evo. “They were supposed to become the next Pistols, brilliant management and record company push. I never auditioned for them. I already knew that I would get the gig with The Blood. But we fell apart. Egos got in the way. The album charted at no. 62. »False Gestures For A Devious Public« is a classic cult album. Just last month I had a drink with ‘The Cardinal’, we put our differences aside. They were playing in some fucking toilet to 60 people – good job that I left them.”
In 1983/84 Evo also had a brief spell with the legendary Angelic Upstarts, one of the original oi! bands (from South Shields). “Mensi and I got on very well,” states Evo, “but when I played with them they had already moved to London.”
“I always wanted my own band but needed an apprenticeship in the mayhem of rock ’n’ roll,” summarizes Evo. “Warfare were never part of the New Wave Of British Heavy Metal. I created my own dream. Something that was so loud that it would make your fucking ears bleed. I don’t think anyone shared my vision. Nobody could understand what I was trying to do. I was hated from the beginning and that is good to me as I hate most of the human race anyway. Often I just scream at the sea...”
For High Roller Records Evo has now opened his vast archive of rare and unreleased Warfare recordings. The first release in the “vaultage series” is called »Noise, Noise, Noise (The Lost Demos)«, a compilation of 13 “lost” Warfare demos. “The source of those demos are first generation analogue cassettes,” explains Evo. »Noise, Noise, Noise (The Lost Demos)« features alternative versions of numerous early Warfare classics such as “Burn Down The Kings Road”, “New Age Of Total Warfare”, “Limit Crescendo” or the wild “Two Tribes” (originally by Frankie Goes To Hollywood) as well as a plethora of completely unreleased material.
