Crossover Classic: English Dogs’ ‘Forward Into Battle’ (RRS176)
Today’s entry highlights a pivotal release in the history of UK hardcore and metal. We are looking at the 2022 limited edition vinyl reissue of Forward Into Battle by English Dogs, released on Radiation Reissues with the catalog number RRS176.
The Metal Turn
Originally released in 1985, this album marks the band’s dramatic shift from their punk roots to a technically proficient metal sound. Following their debut Invasion of the Porky Men, the addition of guitarist Gizz Butt (later of The Prodigy and Sabbat) helped steer the band toward a unique “crossover” style. The music blends the speed and power of bands like Tank and Living Death with their original hardcore energy, making it a favorite among fans of 80s speed metal and thrash.
Format and Extras
This reissue is pressed on classic Black Vinyl and includes a 60cm x 40cm black and white poster. The album comes in a sleeve with a hype sticker on the outer plastic cover, confirming the Italian pressing details.
