"Retaliatory Strike" has been remastered from the original recordings with the original artwork and is availible from our Shop. This is the ONLY official version of this album on cd available and by far is the best sounding. If it doesn't have the Warmetal Records logo on it, It is NOT official!

Notes:
Pictured below is At War in Pyramid Sound Studio with producer Alex Perialas during the recording sessions of "Retaliatory Strike".
The original "Retaliatory Strike" cd released by New Renaissance Records in 1988 had the original helicopter art as seen below.
After years of being out of print, New Renaissance Records finally re-released "Retaliatory Strike" on cd in 1999 with a different cover.
Without approval from the band, New Renaissance Records decided to change the cover art and not use the original helicopter art from 1988. Instead, a dirty brown camouflage art was used with a red At War logo.
The photo above is an old advertisement that New Renaissance Records published in magazines and fanzines back in 1988 to promote the "Retaliatory Strike" release.
Before the "Retaliatory Strike" LP was officially released by New Renaissance Records in 1988. New Renaissance Records would release the "Limited Edition EP" which featured an intro and three tracks off the "Retaliatory Strike" lp.
