the great 'Many Are Called But Few Get Up' collaboration 12" with Con-Dom is SO ugly and badly done that I assumed it was part of an aesthetic

great record, but yeah, i always thought it looked like shit...

THE GREY WOLVES 'BLOOD AND SAND' LP & CD

Originally released as a cassette in 1990 (with Shock City), the original tapes have been radically remixed by the band, then digitally mastered to bring out the extreme sound of the UKs premiere Industrial unit. Do not expect simple noise – this CD contains extreme electronics, mixed with dark ambient rumblings, the sound of armoured helicopters and military transmissions. It was originally issued as a comment of the Gulf War, then raging in the early 1990s. Released in 2002 on CD (CSR42CD), we're now reissuing this gem onto vinyl for the first time. Ltd x 400 copies in a full colour sleeve, the vinyl is accompanied by the CD version in a card sleeve.

Ltd x 100 Grey Vinyl (through Cold Spring mailorder only - LAST COPIES!)
Ltd x 300 Black Vinyl

Was listening to GREY WOLVES "Legions of Hell" tape couple of days ago. Wondering how great it would be to someone do series of reissues of GW. I have vague feeling I have been told there is some sort of compilation in works, but don't remember for sure...

Legions of Hell tape belongs to more atmospheric side of GW. I'd rate it higher than "Judgement" tape for example. That is not bad, but this one has darker and more sinister feel to it. Always waving mutated sound, slowed down sounds, bells, howls, etc.. far from anything one could call power electronics, closer to atmosheric ritual ambient or such. Yet calling this muddy and crude works "ambient" barely does justice either. GW's contribution to War Against Society belongs to this side of project, yet I think most consider it most of all PE project.

GW albums stand among genre classics. Hospital made already effort to get GW's "atmospheric" side for bigger audience in form of "Judgement" reissue, I think material like "Legions Of Hell" would be also good to be preserved on good quality CD and remind greatness of bands lesser known works..

Most can be heard in Youtube...

I totally agree with what you did write above. Unfortunatly i dont have the contact nor (must important) the funds to do something like that.
I hope somebody will be up for this task and give us (and all the people who came a "bit" late) a proper reissue. I would like that. Totally.

Some Times Ago there were Talks on FB Side about a Nails ov Christ Re issue, but heard nothing about it since.

I listened to the Ramraiding Thee Abyss LP by Grey Wolves/Wertham/Survival Instinct twice today and liked it very much. Besides this record, I only have a few other GW releases: Blood and Sand is a good dark ambient-like album, and I also like the crudeness of the Intolerable split live tape with Con-Dom. I don't remember GW's contribution to the Disco-Mortem compilation at all, so I'll have to give it a listen. The track on Waging War Against You is fantastic; so sinister and unique with those choir(?)-sounds.
Based on what I've heard, I'd love to hear more Grey Wolves, so I also hope there will be some reissues.

Was just playing this:

And noticed it misses the GW side completely. Would appreciate a rip!

Through a mix of an order from Peripheral Records and trade of the extras from DAP I have ended up with the full special edition of this, and it's a wonderful thing - feels like a closing point for the end of an era somehow. Standout track is your Shankhill Butchers thing but also very fond of the Survival Instinct tracks and hope Mr Ward can do more work like this. Meanwhile Salford Electronics tracks are now also floating around the internet.

Very glad to have bothered to write about The Grey Wolves in the book I did as the pleasure I have got is immeasurable - chapter was only a rewrite of my first post here really.

Also just out now - JFK/THE GREY WOLVES "Assassin" LP - reissue of an extremely obscure cassette release from 1988 which must have come out in very limited numbers indeed originally - surprisingly ambient and pleasant sounding instrumental recordings, drum machine, electronics and guitars on beautiful blood red vinyl with Lee Harvey Oswald cover art.

[david lloyd jones]

seem to remember grey wolves not playing at mike Dando's 50th b'day event in brum as he was too pissed to perform.
event excellent otherwise btw
also got some fanzine by hom from god knows when with loads of stuff about USA skinheads

[acsenger]

Has anyone heard the JFK/Grey Wolves Assassin LP (or the tape, of which the LP is a reissue)? There are no sound samples and it's not on Youtube, so I'm on the fence about buying it.

[Baglady]

The Assassin LP is great I think. Very calm, or "brooding" if you will. Their respective sounds go very well together. Definitely worth the €$£.
