brand new by then, raw and rabid four track Shox of Violence EP [2016] is the main reason of this release, but it also acts as a compilation that wrangles numerous EPs and splits released after the debut full-length, while some recordings date back up to 2005 or so - more than that, it might equally be considered as a covers' album since fifteen out of twenty five cuts are remakes of other bands, where along Venom, Girlschool and Quiet Riot songs listener has a chance to learn about such entities as Taipan, Mistreater, Black Ax, Pagans, The Spits, Crucifixion, and Scarab, proving that Athenar is heavily inspired by classic metal and rebellious punk too, serving you a musical history lesson from quite a different angle
