- D-Rok was a British hard rock band notable for its Warhammer 40,000-influenced lyrics. At the beginning of the 1990s, Games Workshop began to diversify its activity, including combining its game world with music. As well as collaborating with death metal band Bolt Thrower, whose Warhammer 40,000-themed album Realm of Chaos was released on Earache Records, Games Workshop set up their own label, Warhammer Records, signing hard-rock acts such as Wraith and D-Rok. In 1991 the band released its only album, Oblivion. The songs have the common theme of the universe in Warhammer 40,000 and the inlay reflected this by including black and white illustrations from Games Workshop's extensive portfolio of paintings next to the lyrics for each song. The cover, which originally appeared as the box art for the original Epic Space Marine tabletop game, was painted by artist Jim Burns, and has subsequently been used on the cover of the Black Library collection of short stories named Let the Galaxy Burn. The band undertook a lengthy club tour to promote the record and secured a support slot with UFO and Wraith. (en)
