Warfare "Pure Filth (Unofficial Release, UK, Toxic Records, TOXIC 098)

Warfare was a British heavy metal band from Newcastle upon Tyne that formed in 1982 and disbanded in 1993. They were part of the later stages of the new wave of British heavy metal.

The band was founded in 1984 by drummer/singer Paul "Evo" Evans, guitarist Gunner and bassist Falken. Evo had previously played drums in the punk bands Major Accident, The Blood and Angelic Upstarts, and wanted to "blend metal and punk in a manner not done before". In 1984, Warfare released two singles and an EP. On their first single, the band covered "Two Tribes" by Frankie Goes to Hollywood.

The group also released their debut album Pure Filth in the same year, which was produced by Algy Ward from the band Tank. Cronos from Venom took over vocals and bass on the song "Rose Petals Fall from Her Face".
