End Of Days

Discharge are a British hardcore punk band formed in 1977 by Terence "Tezz" Roberts and Royston "Rainy" Wainwright. The band are characterized by a minimalistic approach to music and lyrics, a heavy, distorted, and grinding guitar-driven sound with raw, shouted vocals similar to a political speech, with lyrics covering anarchist and pacifist themes. 1986's 'Grave New World', a mainstream metal album with a glam sound from Morris's high-pitched singing style,saw the band split shortly thereafter. However, the band's influence on modern day metal continued to grow - the likes of Metallica, Anthrax, Sepultura and Machine Head all covered their songs. By 2001 fan demand was so great that the classic line-up of Morris, Roberts, Roberts, and Wainright reunited after meeting at a party held by original bassist Bamford. In 2002 they released their self-titled album 'Discharge', a return to their early 1980s style featuring political commentary and aggressive playing. Now,in 2016, with original drummer Tezz Roberts back in the band but now on rhythm guitar. Discharge's debut for Nuclear Blast, sees the band at their snapping, gnarliest best with songs like 'New World Order', 'End Of Days' and 'Raped And Pillaged' standing up against anything from their early '80's prime.Arguably, the band's lyrics are more relevant now than they have ever been - this is not the end of days for Discharge.
