Album Notes & Community Reviews

Recorded immediately after the dissolution of Black Flag, this debut solo effort captures Rollins transitioning away from pure hardcore toward a heavier, metallic noise-rock sound. The bruising, groove-heavy arrangements provide a formidable backdrop for his characteristically intense, aggressive vocal tirades.
