In celebration of its 40th anniversary, this classic album is being reissued on red vinyl. Hellhammer were a metal band from Switzerland that are credited as being pioneers of extreme metal and the black metal genre, along with Venom and Bathory in the early 1980s. Formed by Tom G Warrior and Martin Eric Ain (who went on to form Celtic Frost) 'Apocalyptic Raids' was originally released in 1984 and is a cult classic that is revered as a hugely influential release, that laid the blueprint for extreme metal as a whole. The band never performed live while active but in 2019 Tom G Warrior formed Triumph of Death as a tribute to his former band and has been performing their music at festivals globally since.
