After a couple EPs the British hardcore punk unit known as DISCHARGE released their first full-fledged album which in the punk world means a staggering ten tracks reaching the play time of 14:26. DISCHARGE continue their aggressive minimalistic hardcore punk with D-beat drumming and lyrics firmly placed in the anarchic vision of the Sex Pistols turned up to 11.

There is really not anything different on this debut album that wasn’t angrily expressed on the previous releases but it does continue the band’s influential aggressive mark on history which along with Venom spawned a template for many a hardcore band to follow in the thrash metal, black metal, crust punk and grindcore words. The musicianship has evolved a tighter feel though.

Quick and to the point, DISCHARGE is truly a punk band of extremely noisy magnitudes but unknowingly unleashes extreme sonic forces beyond their comprehension. Not as influential as their second full album “Hear Nothing See Nothing Say Nothing” but an essential prerequisite to that album’s development.
