Like Iron Maiden G.B.H. is credited for helping create thrash metal. The influential, long-lived punk metal band rose to prominence in England during the early '80s when hardcore punk inched toward heavy metal. Formed in 1979 in Birmingham, England, G.B.H. took their name from the criminal offence. In August 1981 they released their hard-hitting debut EP, Leather, Bristles, Studs & Acne on Clay Records. In '82 they released their debut album, City Baby Attacked by Rats. Two years later their second album City Baby's Revenge was released in '84. They continued recording and releasing albums
through the '80s, G.B.H. soldiered on, recording new albums throughout the '90s and into the next millennium. By this point the band was often cited by both metal and punk bands as a huge influence, and a renewed interest in G.B.H.'s early recordings resulted.
Race Against Time is a 3 CD collection of the entire G.B.H Clay recordings, 2 studio albums, 1 EP and all the singles releases from the period. Also included is the live, No Survivors album, originally released years after the band left the Clay label. It is now available again as disc three of the box set. The booklet is filled with photos, memorabilia and detailed liner notes. The set is packaged in a 5x5 mini collector's style set. The 3 CD set is a fine intro to one of the '80s more underrated punk bands. Many a mosh pit has been started over the years to the punk anthems "Time Bomb," and "War Dogs".
