Vengeance - Forward into War LP 2024 Edition

In 1988, "Forward Into War" was released on Herbert Egolt's Cologne-based Rock-O-Rama Records label. The band originally started out as a four-piece in 1985, but then found their ideal line-up on their debut album with Tom (drums), Andy (guitar) and Vernon (bass, vocals).

Vengeance played a heavy metal-influenced sound on the "Forward Into War" album, with a brilliant brutal voice and patriotic to nationalistic lyrics. The three British musicians created their own unmistakable style, which is still unrivaled today and which, if you want, can easily be described as Oi!Core. All songs are performed hard to brutally (with the exception of "Wake Up England") and are of a high standard. Unfortunately, singer Vernon, who was also responsible for the cover design at the time, died in 2008. Apparently from an incorrectly dosed medication. It's always the same: only the best die young!

Strictly limited to 499 units, hand-numbered, digitally remastered again in 2024, only available on orange 12-inch vinyl. 10 songs with a playing time of just over 35 minutes.
