ANGREPP released their full-length debut, Warfare, last year on Abyss Records. The album quickly caught the attention of maniacs across the globe, including the legendary multi-instrumentalist and producer Dan Swanö who called the album “Awesome black metal with a refreshing old-school punk attitude. An aural fist in the face!” Abyss Records is currently offering Warfare as part of a digi-CD/T-shirt/sticker package deal. Visit www.officialabyssrecords.com for details.
