Ticket to Mayhem is the second studio album by American thrash metal band Whiplash.[2] It was released on Roadrunner Records in October 1987 and follows 1986's Power and Pain. In 1989, the band released a follow-up album, Insult to Injury.
The opening and closing tracks, both called "Perpetual Warfare", are simply sound effects of guns, explosions, and fighter planes.
In 1998, Displeased Records rereleased Ticket to Mayhem and Power and Pain together on one CD.[3]
