WARHEAD started in 1983 in Brussels (Belgium) as a four piece. The young and aspiring metal boys were taken under the wings of producer Jos Kloek who became their mentor for the early days. Once the instruments were mastered to a satisfactory level, they went into the studio to record an ear splitting and fast heavy metal album. ‘Speedway’ was released in 1985 by the iconic MAUSOLEUM label. WARHEAD still sounds fresh today and should be honored as the true pioneer of Belgian speed metal.
On 11 december 2021, the label VINYL INVASION re-releases the first album ‘SPEEDWAY’, exclusively on orange vinyl. This re-release awakens the old school metal spirit. Founding member Didier Capelle & his partner in crime Patrick Van Londerzele (original singer) have risen the metal force called WARHEAD once again.
