The underground thrash metal classic from the US thrash metal band Wargasm is finally available again!

Experience the ferocity of Boston thrash with Wargasm’s seminal debut “Why Play Around?” newly remastered and housed in a jewel case with protective slip-case and extended artwork. First unleashed in 1988, this cult classic delivers razor-sharp riffs, frenetic solos and an energy that rivals the Big Four. Remastered by Ted Tringo, every nuance of the Spillberg brothers’ precision and Bob Mayo’s commanding vocals is restored, reaffirming the album’s status as one of thrash metal’s most criminally overlooked masterpieces. No filler, no compromise—just pure, unfiltered thrash for a new generation.
