CLASSIC NWOBHM CREW, BLOOD MONEY SET TO RELEASE BOX SET THIS AUGUST

Posted on by Oran


Blood Money were the ultimate NWOBHM cult act, are set to release a box set featuring their entire discography via Svart Records. 

Featuring all existing records from the band, ‘Complete Execution’ will be released via Svart Records on August 25th.

It features remasters of both of their studio albums, ‘Red Raw And Bleeding’, and ‘Battlescarred’, plus demos and radio live tracks, and a scrapbook zine with photos and other materials. The demo/live LP and the zine are available in the box set only.

Being active during the latter days of the NWOBHM movement, Blood Money took more influence from speed metal bands like Agent Steel and the unpolished punk metal of early Venom than the classic rock groups and Black Sabbath that influenced their earlier NWOBHM brethren. Recommended for anyone into obscure but great 80’s metal in the vein of Agent SteelCarnivore, VenomPiledriverSavage or Tank.

Approved by the band, this is the last and perhaps the final word on Blood Money, containing every song the band left on tape during their short lifespan in the late 80’s.

Complete Execution is available for pre-order now on a 3LP Svart exclusive multicolor marble vinyl, 3LP classic black vinyl and 2CD edition.

The studio albums are also available for purchase separately on natural/turquoise marble vinyl (Red Raw And Bleeding) and natural/red marble vinyl (Battlescarred). Release date August 25th.
