The Butcher coded this INC intro, released on 26 February 1988, with a ripped Rob Hubbard soundtrack — "W.A.R. Preview," preserved in the HVSC. Hubbard was the most frequently ripped composer in the C64 cracking scene, and his technically sophisticated SID work appeared in hundreds of crack intros across dozens of groups. International Network of Chaos was an American group founded in 1987, and this early 1988 release places it among their first productions. The Butcher is a different coder from The Mind Slayer, who handled other INC intros including #172 INC-01 and #157 INC-07. The American scene of this era operated somewhat independently from its European counterparts, with fewer direct connections to the dominant Scandinavian and German groups. The choice of Hubbard's music reflects the universal admiration for his work on both sides of the Atlantic.
