Did you know Games Workshop had a record label in the 1990’s? Checkout the track that may have inspired the Slaaneshi troop favorite.

Back in the early 1990’s GW began to diversify its activity, such as combining gaming with music. Games Workshop set up their own label, Warhammer Records, and went about signing hard-rock acts such as Wraith and D-Rok to it.

D-Rok also collaborated with the death metal band Bolt Thrower, whose Warhammer 40,000-themed album Realm of Chaos was released on a different label.d-rok-get-out-of-my-way-uk7front

Games Workshop even published D-Rok’s tour schedule in White Dwarf 148!

Their sound is a bridge of the styles between the end of the 1980’s and beginning of the 1990’s. It would not sound out of place on any old sci-fi or heck even the first Transformers movie. You may have even heard some of their tracks playing in GW stores, and have not even paid any mind to it.

“Noise Marines” is the first track from D-Rok’s mythical album “Oblivion” produced by Warhammer Records Ltd (Games Workshop) in 1991.
