 This is what Peaceville call their Sacred Star. Peaceville Records is a British independent heavy metal-oriented record label. The label was founded by Paul "Hammy" Halmshaw (of the bands Instigators and Civilized Society?, was also one-time drummer of Sore Throat) in 1987, in Cleckheaton, England. Originally a tape label releasing anarcho punk, the releases moved towards metal through crust and similar forms of metal influenced English hardcore punk. Hammy started running the label full time in 1988.
