CD/LP 2011:
Video Production by Boross Media Services: www.borossmedia.com
All photographs and introduction by Greg Hazard: www.greghazard.com
Original live audio mixed by Jeff Cowen: goldminerecording.com

This amateur video was never meant to be releases. The audio was taken off the mixing console. As we were an opening act, we had little or no sound check, room on stage, and restricted access to the lighting and sound, and even though, this rare and primitive video is one of the few taken of the band.

Our eternal Thanks to Brian Slagel for still believing in us for all these years and for allowing this video (CD) / project (LP) to be brought to life. Special thanks to Tracy Vera, Heather Parsons, Brian Ames and all at Metal Blade Records.

Also special thanks to Michael Trengert, Andreas Reissnauer and all at Michael Blade GMBH, especially Armin Steiner without whose persistence we would have never dug this relic out of its resistance place! Please enjoy at full volume!

🔍 Servants of Chaos ( WP search or FB )

As you now join the swelling ranks of the Legions of Chaos,
together we will drive before us the cringing herd of False Metal,
crush their spineless lackeys,
and purge the world of their mutant plague …

This album is dedicated to our fallen comrade Jerry Fogle, Rest in Peace

This is an compilation album of 31 unreleased and rare tracks recorded between 1978 and 1990. It was only released in Europe, not in America. Artwork and layout was done by Thomas Ewerhard. It is a great addition if you already have their four ordinary studio albums, even though the sound quality is not always top-notch. It is my no means a complete compilation of their unreleased stuff, but a good introduction to it. Hopefully there will be a follow-up or a box set of more unreleased songs some day. The booklet is nice with pictures and liner notes by Rob and Greg.

The original is long out of print, but was re-released in 2011, ten years after the original edition. It was re-released on both CD and 3LP gatefold vinyl. The CD was a digipak featuring a bonus DVD containing live footage from Wolf & Rissmiller’s Country Club, 09 Nov 1984. On vinyl, it came in three different colours and with a A2 poster. It also has a slightly different cover – the title is written at the bottom of the cover.

Original painting: White Wolf (1977)

Michael Whelan: whose paintings of Elric graced our first 4 albums and have indelibly linked us to ‘The White Wolf’ and gave us world class recognition, we are indebted to you for life. Not only are you the greatest artist of all time, but I am proud to consider you a friend.
Greg Hazard: Our loyal photographer who stood by us for 22 years without pay, to give us the most unbelievable photos.
Jeff Cowan: Goldmine Studios Ventura, who provided a bandroom for 11 years, showed up and mixed about every live show for free and practically donated the two studio tracks on this album.
Brad Vance: DNA Mastering, who single handedly rescued all this material from the edge of the abyss.
Thomas Ewerhard: The very talented Thomas Ewerhard (not Michael Ewerhard) did all the artwork and layout. I know he has done some covers for Steel Prophet, among others. (Greg L, Dark Tales)
Michael Trengert and Andreas Ressinauer: Metal Blade in Germany however, is run by a very cool guy, Michel Trengert. He has been a good friend to the band. We have never made much money from either group, but he was the guy that suggested that we put out our “Servants of Chaos” CD, which contained all our old and unreleased material, without him it never would have happened. (Robert, Sleazegrinder). Michael Trengert and Andreas Ressinauer in Germany have been the greatest and if it weren’t for them you would have never seen the last double CD. (Robert, Blood of the Ancients 2002). Rest in peace, Michel Trengert.

In the band’s own words

SERVANTS OF CHAOS
It is fitting that it ends as it began, with Greg and I working together, to put out this double CD of some very rare and unreleased material. Our loyal fans, who span decades and cross continents, deserve to hear the roots of the band that had so much promise, but whose talents were wasted by an industry that promotes not music but greed, and not art but hype!
None of this material was ever meant to be released, however with the help of some very talented people and modern technology some of our early work has been rescued, digitally re-mastered and brought back from the grave. Although there are some exceptions such as ‘Fire’ and ‘Fallen Idols’ much of the original material on Greg’s disc was recorded under the most primitive circumstances imaginable. The drums especially come across weak at times, rest assured that this was a result of the recording techniques and not your humble drummer! Unfortunately another 20 songs or so are lost forever as their original tapes were either too far gone to resurrect or literally lost. CD one is a compilation of music from when Greg was in the band and CD two is music performed after Greg had left, with the exception of ‘Secret Agent Man’.
Greg and I have talked about re-recording some of these lost songs, and if this project is successful maybe this will come to pass. Our hope is that you will overlook the inconsistences and discover the unpolished gems, which was our early work. We wrote this music as art and we present it to you as such, in hopes you will find half as much enjoyment in listening as we had in creating it. Once again, please play at maximum volume!

Robert W. Garven Jr
May 2001

Fans had been asking for years about unreleased live and studio songs, so a few years ago Rob and I got to talking about the stacks of unreleased songs we had laying around, and we decided that at least some of it was good enough to be released. Overall, I’m very satisfied with the finished product. The sound quality isn’t always the greatest, but Brad Vance at DNA did a great job of saving and cleaning up our old tapes, some of which were 25 years old. The fan reaction has been great, and everyone seems to have a different favorite song. We keep getting asked when Volume 2 will come out, and there is still some more material we haven’t unearthed yet.

Greg Lindstrom, BallBuster interview

Rob came up with the idea and Metal Blade Europe was very receptive, so we both spent weeks going through our respective stacks of tapes. What ended up on the CD is a small fraction of what we have on tape.

Greg Lindstrom, Tombstone interview 9/2001

There had been a lot of requests from our fans for some new CU material, so Rob and I spent a couple of months going through our old demo and practice tapes. Rob pitched the idea to Metal Blade, and the European side was very interested. Unfortunately, MB in the US did not release it, so the CD is rather hard to find over here in our own backyard! We would like to get a US label to release “Servants” over here.
If “Servants” generates enough interest, you could hear from us again. We still have at least 20 songs that have never been released, like “Brutish Manchild” and “Route 666”. I would like to resurrect some more old tapes that have Jerry’s guitar magic.

Greg Lindstrom, True Metal magazine 07/02 interview

Greg and I were actually the two original members so it was only natural that I turn to him to help work on the project. The other remaining members either did not want to participate or were totally against the project thinking that the music was inferior to our studio work. I was just interested in getting the music released before it was destroyed by time as so much of the other material was. Since our other albums had been released I thought that this was the best possible time and I knew that our good fans would enjoy hearing some of the early and live versions of some of the songs.

Robert Garven, True Metal magazine 07/02 interview

The only money we got to release Servants of Chaos went to the mastering lab, the few hundred dollars we had left over Greg and I agreed to send to Michael Whelan. In fact Greg and I spent some of our own money to get the project out and as soon as we signed the contract with Metal Blade it had a hidden clause in it that combined all the other re-release royalties guaranteeing that we would never make a cent on the deal. On a lighter note royalties that were made on Servants of Chaos were supposed to be deducted from the monies owed on the re-releases but never were. I contacted Metal Blade and Brian said he would look into it. I never heard back from them. People asked me if I was upset that bootleg albums existed of some of our material. My reply has been that since we have never made any money from our legitimate record companies why should we be upset at someone who would promote our music by releasing a bootleg?

Robert Garven, Diabolical Conquest interview

Metal Blade in Germany however, is run by a very cool guy, Michel Trengert. He has been a good friend to the band. We have never made much money from either group, but he was the guy that suggested that we put out our “Servants of Chaos” CD, which contained all our old and unreleased material, without him it never would have happened. Brian our old friend did not release it in America for whatever reason.
He [Trengert] suggested the idea to me and Greg and I got all the material together that we could find in hopes of releasing allot of stuff that no one had heard before. There are some real gems in there, including some great instrumental work by Greg, and a version of “Fallen Idols” that showed what the album “Paradise Lost” would have sounded like if we would not have had a producer destroy the musical compositions and arrangements. All in all, I was very happy with it, even though Metal Blade saw fit not to release it in the US. Tim was opposed to it, as he thought there was going to be some questionable material on there, but since the tapes were deteriorating, it was then or never. I decided that since the tapes were legally either Greg’s or mine that I was going to go for it for our fans. Unfortunately, it seemed to have cost our friendship.

Robert Garven, Sleazegrinder interview

: Rob about Servants of Chaos (May 2001): “Michael Whelan whose paintings of Elric graced our first 4 albums and have indelibly linked us to ‘The White Wolf’ and gave us world class recognition, we are indebted to you for life. Not only are you the greatest artist of all time, but I am proud to consider you a friend.”

It has ended up on Half Past Human (May 2021) instead.

: Which is the best? original 2001 on jewel case (left) or the re-release 2011 on digipak (right)? (2, this is the same as 1)

Rare compilation albums 1 and 2

Two rare compilation albums with of demo, rehearse, live or re-recorded tracks. Servants of Chaos (May 2001) has demos, rehearsal and live tracks. Half Past Human (May 2021) has re-recorded versions. Similar on the band Hell – Human Remains 2CD Box with CD1 was re-recorded in 2011 with new cover art and CD2 was 1982-1986 Demos, rehearsals and live tracks then. Servants of Chaos (May 2001) and Half Past Human (May 2021) have been released in the same month, but twenty years apart – May 2001 and May 2021. Servants of Chaos was supposed to have Whelan’s White Wolf according to Rob, but instead Half Past Human has Whelan’s White Wolf on the artwork.

Left is Servants of Chaos (May 2001) with demos, rehearsal and live tracks from Aug 1978 – 1991. And Rob said it “…have indelibly linked us to ‘The White Wolf’…”

Right is Half Past Human (May 2021) with re-recorded versions of 1970’s rarities. Trivial: In my opinion, I think Half Past Human has a even much more songs on playtime on album or even a box set with songs like Rock ’n’ Roll Hooker, Worse Things Waiting, Radiation Blues, Rollin On, Tight Teen, etc, and 300 songs total, according to Robert Garven in the Iron Pages interview in 1994. But I guess most fans like the “cool” EP/mini album by far, and only that’s why Cirith Ungol has made the EP.

Question about Servants of Chaos

Are the four songs — “Atom Smasher,” “Master of the Pit,” “King of the Dead,” and “Last Laugh” — all from the live performance on 04-05-85, with only “Cirith Ungol” from 11-09-84? Or are three songs (“Atom Smasher,” “Master of the Pit,” and “King of the Dead”) from 04-05-85, and two songs (“Last Laugh” and “Cirith Ungol”) from 11-09-84? Or is it that “Atom Smasher,” “Master of the Pit,” “King of the Dead,” and “Cirith Ungol” are all from 04-05-85, and only “Last Laugh” is from 11-09-84?

CD2 track 9 seems correct — but tracks 10 and 11 have conflicting info.

Yes, indeed! Personally I’d prefer the repress of Servants and the live DVD to be two separate releases, so people who already have the Servants album doesn’t need to buy it again.
