THE SOUNDS OF A BOOT STOMPING ON A HUMAN FACE FOREVER -- UKHC '85.

PIC(S) INFO: Spotlight on the "One Struggle One Fight" LP by UK punk/hardcore band, THE VARUKERS, released under the Liberate label as LIBERATE 1 in 1985.

"An aggressive guitar sound that strays away from the metal leads and relies on fast-paced metal riffs. The vocals are gravelly, and the music is powerful but repetitious at the same time, yet the band’s message sticks with a hard political stance."

-- MAXIMUM ROCKANDROLL, c. winter 1986

REVIEWER: Martin Sprouse

LABEL: Liberate

ISSUE: MRR #43 • December 1986

The Foundation's silliest agents

[theseventhgate--tfwh]

Well wouldn’t you know it, 5 years later and Varuk is wildly different than his first iteration! He’s a full fledged good boy now so I gave him a design revamp. He’s a bit of a mutt in terms of genetic origins but he’s still got that remora flare that I can’t be parted with.

What punk rock band do you think would be a good fit for Warhammer?

Lovely question! I'm gonna assume you mean 40k since I have never posted anything about Fantasy. Also idk if punk rock would even fit there lol.

I have actually thought about this a lot since my Psyker Harald''s style is based on punk rock. And while I tap into many music genres, I rarely attach myself to a band or artist. I can easily pick out songs for this question but bands? So I did a bit of research for this one. I'll try my best but bear in mind, this is based on very limited knowledge of an amateur :'D

If there's someone out there who's into Warhammer 40k and punk rock, feel free to tell me some of your picks in an ask cause I always love to broaden my musical horizon~

Since 40k is futuristic, industrial and gothic in setting, I thought that would take inspiration on the music, tho the classic punk rock and variations of such would also work. I imagine depending on where you are in the universe there's very diffrent sub genres. Overall punk rock was always anti-establishment and 40k is built as an insane establishment so the critics and the ones edging heresy would surely flock to the punk rock genre.

Ideally I would imagine classic punk rock with touches of grunge, industrial, techno and maybe even the gothic holy music touch tho perhaps people would rather want to turn away from the holy chants for the Emperor. Or parody it. Who knows.

Unfortunately I haven't found exactly THAT but instead of one, here's 5 bands that to my limited knoweledge come close to some of the vibes I mentioned:

The Varukers - Started punk rock, went into thrash metal later, the themes they sing about are mostly anti-government and anti-war which like, yea.

WWW - It's more synth punk and weird but I think it fits perfectly to the more tech influence punk rock could have in 40k (like imagine the singers all with masks or rebreathers).

SPECTRES - More goth or post punk but especially Hindsight fits the vibes very well.

The Expelled - I don't necessairly have a good reason why they fit but vibes, man.

The Green Demons - Punk rock with many subgenres here and there, most of their songs have this haunting background vibe to it like you would play punk rock in a cathedral with a bit of punk unusal instruments aand some tech too.
