Vengeance, Forward into War, LP

Finally available again! This time in orange vinyl. The official Vengeance re-release, not a bootleg, not a “private edition” and not an “imported fan edition” from dubious scene tuners at brothel prices!

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 brilliantly brutal voice and patriotic to nationalistic lyrics. The three British musicians created their own unmistakable style, which is still unparalleled today and which, if you like, can easily be described as Oi! core. All the tracks are played hard and 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, passed away in 2008. It was said that he died of 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, available exclusively on orange-colored 12-inch vinyl. 10 songs with just over 35 minutes playing time.
