Not a Combat release.
...but to my knowledge this was the only Metal record on Relativity (co-released by No Wimp Rec) that came out without the involvement of Combat, so it's worth mentioning. An earlier No Wimp-pressing also exists (different cover art).

Not really "more Metal" but definitely less HC than its great predecessor. Still love about half of the record though, since they're not entirely lost on fun/funk-core deep waters just yet.

This was in fact a mispressing and not a real Combat release! Megaforce Records and Combat shared the same pressing plant (Electrosound Group) and distributor (IRD), and the stock labelss were switched around in the manufacturing process. Judging by the design, this version should be from abouts 1986-87. This was in fact a mispressing and not a real Combat release!
