What makes Religious Wars by Subhumans notable?

This EP stands out for its unflinching critique of religious conflict and the socio-political landscape of the early 1980s. It has been recognized for its influence on subsequent punk bands and remains a significant artifact of the anarcho-punk scene, reflecting a period of heightened political awareness among youth culture. The track 'Religious Wars' was particularly noted for its provocative commentary on the intersection of faith and violence. Released in 1982, 'Religious Wars' was Subhumans' second EP, following their debut 'The Day the Country Died' from 1981. At this point, the band was solidifying their place within the anarcho-punk movement, addressing themes of war, love, and social injustice with increasing fervor as they gained a dedicated following.
