Album Notes & Community Reviews

Erupting from the fertile Birmingham underground, this immensely popular independent release stands as a defining pillar of the British crust punk movement. Building heavily upon the sonic template established by Discharge, its fiercely political lyricism and overwhelmingly distorted, down-tuned aggression effectively bridged the gap between anarcho-punk and early grindcore.
