When this disc first saw the light of day in 1992, the album hit like a bomb. The musical comparison was too blatant in contrast to what had previously populated the sound grooves and CDs of the relevant labels, no strumming and noise, but razor-sharp guitar riffs and rock-hard drum sounds. And with a vehemence that the inclined consumer was only used to from heavy metal groups from professional studios up to this point. It’s been a long time! Anyone who wasn’t there back then is welcome to grab it today and treat themselves to these pleasant metal showers again (or for the first time?).

Due to the increasingly narrow corridor of opinion in the Federal Republic of Germany in 2019, accompanied by politically desired criminal prosecution, two songs unfortunately had to be removed compared to the original CD. The tracks “The boat is full” and “Why do you stay silent?” are NOT included on this record!

In 1989, Brutal Attack released their third and best LP “Tales Of Glory” on Rock-O-Rama Records. This release highlighted the band’s leading role within the second generation of rock-against-communism bands such as No Remorse, Skullhead, Sudden Impact, English Rose etc. As an album, “Tales Of Glory” is chock-full of well-crafted, catchy, beautifully melodic ones Anthems (such as the truly impressive ballad “Ocean Of Warriors”) and aggressive Oi!/Rock hits about standing up for the preservation of one’s own nation (“England”). The first song, the fast-paced and insanely catchy “Tales of Glory”, is a quintessentially traditional RAC classic, while tracks like “While The Flame Burns” and “Raise The Fist” subtly but directly address questions of identity and anti -Address immigration topics (without insults or mentions of specific population groups).

The disc contains a total of 14 songs by the Bergisch combo, which was the first German skinhead band ever to release an album on Rock-O-Rama Records, which was not without controversy in the politicizing scene at the time, as the record contained the piece “Blinder “Hass” a song that clearly took a position against racism and anti-Semitism. Unsurprisingly, this wasn’t exactly met with approval from some hardliners. Curiously, in an interview at the time, the band basically apologized for the lyrics, which were attributed to the “too liberal” guitarist, who is said to have been kicked out of the band a short time later. Insightful analysis: Back then, “political correctness” and “cancel culture” worked the other way around .

The Easter Bunny has laid a very big egg in our nest: The next milestone in the final discography, hot off the press from the Rock-O-Rama record factory, directly to your gift table. The second power amplifier album “Skinhead Rock’n’Roll” was forced to disappear into obscurity for a “good” 30 years. Now it has risen like the Phoenix from the ashes to spin blissfully on your turntable.

Two songs were dropped compared to the 1st edition, three new songs were added. Two of them were recorded with this album at the time, but were released for singles or samplers. Both are now included on this disc, plus another bonus track. The nine songs at the time became ten on this edition of “Skinhead Rock’n’Roll”, Edition 2023, four of which had to be minimally edited digitally.

The two Bremen bands Endstufe and Volksgemurmel crash into the music salon of the interested audience with six songs each. They perform catchy melodies with meaningful lyrics. In addition, the originally rather dull mix with relatively quiet vocals shines in new splendor thanks to the vinyl mastering. This time everything can be heard clearly and clearly and the sound now finally has the right rough thump – in contrast to “back in the day”. If you still want to read the lyrics of the old tunes in black and white, the text sheet (with photos of both bands) is attached. By the way, the final stage tracks on this production are a bit livelier and more aggressive than the material on the “Skinhead Rock ‘n’ Roll” album, which was released in the same year. But that’s just by the way.

Ian Stuart Donaldson’s first and best solo album from 1989. The “No turning back” LP was released shortly after the “After the Fire” album, and like that LP it is punkier than most of Skrewdriver’s later material. And while much of this LP is hard rock, some songs are Oi!-heavy: “Fortress Europe”, “Battle Cries” and especially “Firepower” sound like what Skrewdriver played on the “Hail the New Dawn” LP. Even the title track, despite being based on a metal riff, is less than two minutes long and has a lot of punk anger. “Campaign in the East” is one of Ian Stuart’s best hard rock compositions, not only on this album but in general.

In addition to the six songs from the mini-CD / mini-LP at the time, it also contains 4 more songs as a treat on top: two songs from the first Skrewdriver LP on ROR (H.t.n.d. from 1984) and from the third Skrewdriver LP (W.R. from 1987 ). Namely “Justice” plus “If there is a riot” as well as “Behind the bars” and “I can see the fire”. The record in this version was actually supposed to be released in 2022, but unfortunately it has only now made it to the public eye because other re-releases had priority.

Officially available on vinyl for the first time since 1986 on Rock-O-Rama Records! Founded in 1981, the then young patriotic musicians sang about their own life experiences and the things that were happening around them. The fact that they had to watch their once great country violently decline under the Tory government of Margaret Thatcher tore their hearts.

The first Kroizfoier LP is the perfect choice for anyone who loves hard, unadulterated skin rock from the early 1990s. The band from Saxony caused a sensation at the time with their aggressive sound and politically provocative lyrics. With songs like “True Values” and “Eternal Life” Kroizfoier perfectly reflected the zeitgeist of 1992. So if you’re looking for a record that will transport you and make you think, then the first Kroizfoier LP is just the thing for you. Get your copy now and get ready for an unforgettable listening experience.

The official New Glory re-release on the original label – no pirated pressing, no “private edition” and no “imported fan edition” from dubious scene crooks at brothel prices!

The 1988 debut album by the American Oi! Band from Philadelphia. The combo is considered by some to be the best American Oi! Band of the 80s. After the group “The Uprise” broke up, Matt Andrews and Rob Daly founded the band NEW GLORY together with their good friends Fran Sherlock (vocals) and Todd Forkin (guitar). Unfortunately, the band only existed for two years and “Backlash” was their only release.

The official Odins Erben re-release on the original label – no pirated pressing, no “private edition” and no “imported fan edition” from dubious scene crooks at brothel prices!

The second disk of the North Wind Forerunner group Odins Erben. As usual, very appealing fare with texts from life. “Warriors of the North” and “Bureaucrats” make the disc a blast. If you want to be completely sorted when it comes to Nordwind, you also need this predecessor album, which is considered an early and standard work in Viking rock in Germany.
