THE SONGBOOK OF FIFTH

Description

Attention, cult band of cult bands!!! Indeed, WARFARE was part of the famous NWOBHM wave that swept through the first half of the 80s. Formed by drummer Evo in early 1984, they return after an almost 27-year hiatus, but now even more brutal and angry than before. Including many rare and unreleased songs, all newly mixed or remastered, as well as lyrics and liner notes by Evo. Warfare immediately signed with pioneer NWOBHM label Neat Records for a string of influential releases, including 'Pure Filth' produced by Algy Ward of Tank, followed by 'Metal Anarchy', produced by Lemmy. Their third album, the aptly titled 'Mayhem Fuckin' Mayhem' sold in droves, followed by their fourth, 'A Conflict of Hatred'. Their last album for Neat, 1990's 'Hammer Horror', was a tribute to Evo's favorite 60s and 70s films. After a nearly 27-year hiatus, Evo decided to return. He wrote a handful of new songs. Evo recruited a number of guest musicians, including the late "Fast" Eddie Clarke of Motörhead and Fastway, who laid down some of his finest and final guitar work with Warfare before his untimely death in 2018. Other guests include Pete Way of UFO and Waysted, whose thunderous bass can be heard alongside 'Fast' Eddie and Evo on the song 'Misanthropy', the trio's very first commercial release. Other guests featured on 'The Songbook Of Filth' include Tom Angelripper of Sodom, Lips of Anvil, Cronos and Mantas of Venom, Fred Purser of Tygers Of Pan Tang, and Würzel of Motörhead.
