VARUKERS
Another Religion Another War
LP
THE VARUKERS and DISCHARGE were the 2 most raging and intense of the UK bands to ratchet punk up to hardcore speed and power in the early '80s. This LP sees THE VARUKERS delivering top notch hardcore. The guitar tone and riffage are savage, the vocals raw and powerful. The guitar has a bit of the metallic crunch that would permeate hardcore in the future, but still remains grounded in punk. Several members of this line-up went on to form SACRILEDGE taking the heavy riffs in a more metal direction. This LP ranks with DISCHARGE "hear nothing..." as an example of '80s UK hardcore at it's very best. When Thatcher and Brezhnev had their fingers on the button to destroy mankind, you needed this kind of hardcore to stay sane.
