The album Hammer Horror, which was a tribute to the British Hammer film studios famous for their horror films, was released on this label in 1990, but Evo was not happy with the label and re-recorded the whole album and released it with extra tracks on Silva Screen Records.
On Hammer Horror, the band incorporated orchestral passages, doom-heavy riffs, atmospheric, "eerie" passages and, on "Phantom of the Opera", female vocals and "spooky" keyboard melodies; the Guide also sees the album as an influence for later symphonic doom/gothic metal.
Tracklist:
- Hammer Horror 01:51
- Plague of the Zombies 02:07
- Ballad of the Dead 00:56
- Phantom of the Opera 06:13
- Baron Frankenstieion 04:46
- A Velvet Rhapsody 01:39
- Solo of Shadows 01:32
- Prince of Darkness 05:11
- Tales of the Gothic Genre 03:27
- Scream of the Vampire 05:08
Time: 32:50
This is the original version of "Hammer Horror".
Since this version of Hammer Horror was full of flaws and suffered from poor distribution, another version of the album was released by Silva Screen in 1993, with more tracks, a professional producer (Fred Purser (Tygers Of Pan Tang)), Algy Ward (Tank) on lead guitars and totally re-recorded songs. That version is considered by the band the definitive Hammer Horror album (and, according to Evo even the definitive Warfare album).
