Skrewdriver - When The Storm Breaks
Review by Mirna Angela Boschetto
When The Storm Breaks by Skrewdriver is a controversial album that has been both praised and criticized for its provocative content. The album is filled with intense and aggressive lyrics that touch on themes of nationalism, race, and rebellion.
Skrewdriver's unique blend of punk and rock music creates a powerful and energetic sound that is sure to get listeners pumped up. The band's strong vocals and instrumental prowess are evident throughout the album, showcasing their talent and passion for creating music that speaks to their beliefs.
While some may find the album's themes and lyrics offensive, others see it as a bold statement against political correctness and conformity. Regardless of one's opinion, it cannot be denied that When The Storm Breaks is a powerful and impactful album that will leave a lasting impression on its listeners.

About Skrewdriver
UK punk band, active 1976 - 1979, re-formed as an explicitly white supremacist band 1982-1993.
Founded by singer Ian Stuart Donaldson in 1976, the band originally sported a punk look, but, at their label's urging, became skinheads during the second wave of skinheads in England. Skrewdriver became known for attracting violence at their shows and none of their Chiswick releases did very well in the UK charts. They broke up in 1979.
Singer Ian Stuart re-formed the band in 1982 as a clearly White Power neo-Nazi band, with an entirely new, and often revolving lineup. This new version of Skrewdriver became the musical arm of the British National Front and released as their debut album "Hail The New Dawn" in 1984 on the German Rock-O-Rama label. This release not only helped transform the label to a far-right position but effectively invented White Power "hate-rock" and Skrewdriver quickly became a driving force behind the RAC (Rock Against Communism) movement.
In 1993 Ian Stuart died in a car accident.
