Iconic space rock pioneers Hawkwind are thrilled to announce a landmark 50th anniversary reissue of their groundbreaking fifth studio album, Warrior on the Edge of Time, originally released on May 9, 1975. This definitive edition, featuring the legendary lineup of Dave Brock, Nik Turner, Lemmy (Ian Kilmister), Simon House, Simon King, and Alan Powell, captures the band's most polished and ambitious work to date, blending psychedelic fury with cosmic storytelling.
Inspired by Michael Moorcock's epic novel The Eternal Champion, the album weaves lyrics from the renowned author into Hawkwind's signature soundscapes of swirling synthesizers, violin sorcery, and relentless rhythms. Tracks like "Assault and Battery / The Golden Void," "Opa-Loka," and "Warriors" deliver a multiverse odyssey of wizards, chaos, and interstellar battles, marking Lemmy's final outing with the band before his departure—just one day prior to launch.
Hailed as one of the finest rock albums of the 1970s, Warrior on the Edge of Time peaked at No. 13 on the UK Albums Chart and remains a cornerstone of space rock, influencing generations with its wall-of-sound intensity and ethereal vibes.
