The Henchmen - Death Machine
1985




This is West Auckland Punk/Metal Band The Henchmen's third and final single. Unlike most early New Zealand Punk bands they were more influenced by Detroit bands than London ones. Often seen as too Metal by the Punks and too Punk by the Metalers. The Henchmen played what they liked and didn't care what others thought. They evolved from The Dum Dum Boys who had released New Zealand's first Punk album "Let There Be Noise" in 1981. Eventually The Henchmen moved to Australia and became Reptiles At Dawn.
