Brocas Helm - Into Battle, CD [Pre-Reserve]

Prepare to cross into the ethereal void. Nameless Grave Records is proud to present the official, fully sanctioned compact disc reissue of Brocas Helm’s landmark 1984 debut album, Into Battle.

Originally unleashed at the dawn of the mid-80s metal explosion, Into Battle is a wonderfully volatile relic of pure underground defiance. While their Bay Area peers were slowing down into radio rock or speeding up into pure thrash, Brocas Helm created an entirely separate lane. The album is an essential masterclass in traditional metal, defined by Bobbie Wright’s erratic, blistering leads and commanding vocal delivery, Jack Hays’ relentless percussion, and Jim Schumacher’s legendary, upfront bass attack. From the opening speed-metal fury of "Metallic Fury" to the soaring, dark fantasy narratives of "Into the Ithilstone," the record remains a breathless, essential listen for any true defender of the faith.

This definitive Nameless Grave Records edition elevates the release with the historical curation it deserves, featuring extensive, deep-dive new liner notes written by acclaimed journalist and musician Sarah Kitteringham (Smoulder, Decibel Magazine, Banger TV).

This is a pre-sale item and ships mid-July!
