At the beginning of the 1990s, Games Workshop began to diversify its activity, including by combining its game world with music. As well as collaborating with death metal band Bolt Thrower, whose Warhammer 40,000 themed Realm Of Chaos album was released on Earache, 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 was painted by artist Wayne England, 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.
D-Rok owes some popularity to the fact that Brian May, guitarist of Queen played on two of the songs (Get out of My Way and Red Planet Blues). In an interview with Kerrang! Magazine, lead singer Sigh explained that May had visited a Games Workshop store with his son, met the band, and offered his services. Sigh went on to say that May had been offended when he was asked to tune up his guitar before recording his parts.

D4 damager, power to the people
Back once again for the renegade master
G4 damager, with the ill behavior
Back once again for the renegade master
D4 damager, power to the people
Back once again for the renegade master
D4 damager, with the ill behavior
G4 damager, power to the people
Back once again for the renegade mastah
G4 damager, with the ill behavior
The song "Renegade" by D-Rok is an upbeat, fast-paced track that is perfect for getting the crowd hyped up. The first verse establishes the rapper as a "renegade master" and "D4 damager," indicating his authority and power over the crowd. He exclaims that he is back once again, highlighting his dominance as well as the fact that he has been in the game for a while.
The chorus of the song is a repetition of the rapper's title, "renegade master," followed by the phrase "power to the people." This chant is reminiscent of protest movements and social justice rallies, implying that the rapper and his fans are a force that cannot be silenced or ignored. Additionally, the phrase "ill behavior" suggests that they are ready to break social norms and challenge the status quo.
Overall, "Renegade" is an anthem for those who march to the beat of their own drum and aren't afraid to speak out against injustice. The song's energy and rebellious spirit make it an instant classic.

fun fact, Brian May did some guitar work on this album because his son was into Warhammer and he got involved

'Get out of my way' and 'Red Planet Blues' are the two that Brian May collaborated on. Super cool.
