“Metal Rhythm” is the 9th solo studio album by English musician Gary Numan, originally released by I.R.S. Records. For its American release, and against Numan’s wishes, the record label changed the album’s title to “New Anger”, changed the artwork colour shade from black to blue, remixed several of its tracks and even replaced two tracks (“Hunger” and “Young Heart”) with tracks originally recorded for Numan’s 1984 album “Berserker”. “Metal Rhythm” was released in September 1988 and although its edgy, industrial-funk sound met with favour from fans and some positive reviews in the UK music press, it sold poorly. The album charted at #48, while its singles, “New Anger” and “America”, charted at #46 and #49 respectively. Numan would only release two more albums with I.R.S. – “The Skin Mechanic” (1989), a live album from the Metal Rhythm tour, and the studio album “Outland” (1991) – before quitting the label and reactivating Numa Records. Numan supported “Metal Rhythm” with an 18-date UK live tour (September–October 1988) from which the live album “The Skin Mechanic” was released in 1989. Culled from two shows at the Dominion Theatre, London in September 1988, “The Skin Mechanic” charted at UK #55, and was followed by a 1990 video release of the tour.
