My least favourite album by Sledge Hammer and way to metalic for my taste. Still has some good songs though. Aikokusha, a new recording of their old song Patriot is one of them.

Released by HG Fact in 1997.

Less known album but as good as most of the classic SSS records out there. The album is called 罪無人 or in western letters "Owarinaki Tatakai" which translates into Keep to protect, probably one of many reasons why it's not that known in the west. Hard samurai sound with heavy drums, intense guitars with a rock feeling to it and some great singalong anthems as choruses. Killer record in my oppinion.

01. JM Warmachine - Our flag
02. L.R.F. - The only one
03. Humpty dumpty - Monroe's dead
04. Bull the dougs - Long live.....

A 12'' EP released through JM Records in 1988. A second volume was planned for release in 1989 but JM went broke and it never got released.

A political record with next to no political bands on it (with Bad Vultures being the exception). Humpty dumpty even went on to play crustish sounding punk later on. Anyway a superb compilation that most ignore because of it's nationalistic approach and a certain tattoo on the cover.

Sledge Hammer - Blood Awake! LP (2006)

SSS/Oi! from Japan

Tracklist:
01. Blood awake!
02. Keep your mind strong
03. Werewolf
04. Anthem
05. We assault you

Released by Vulture Rock in 2006.

This release is as simple as they come since Vulture only took the bands old demo from 1992 and pressed it, took an empty LP cover and glued a printed A5 with info on it. Still a wonderfull release and that song anthem is still killer even in this crappy demo-quality.

Anthem (studio version)

Sledge Hammer - Hang 'em high Cassette (1991)

02. Anthem
03. Blood awake
04. Keep your mind strong
05. We assault you!

Selfreleased by the band in 1991.

Few bands have as brutal of a sound as this band and their Samurai/Werewolfen counterparts had in the 90's. Tom Cruise wasnt the last samurai, these guys where.

One of the best Japan albums to see the light of day. Far superior than most other things around at the time to for that matter.
