Our Take
Our Take
The legendary hardcore punk band Black Flag have returned with their seminal album, "Damaged," and it's safe to say that this record is an absolute knock-out. From start to finish, "Damaged" is a relentless assault on the eardrums that never lets up.
Lead singer Henry Rollins' aggressive vocals cut through the mix like a sledgehammer, delivering raw and unapologetic lyrics that will have you screaming along in no time. The energy and intensity of the band's performance is palpable, as they tear through each track with the ferocity of a pack of rabid dogs.
Tracks like "Rise Above" and "TV Party" bring a sense of rebellious chaos to the album, while slower, more melodic songs like "Damaged II" showcase the band's versatility and range. The production is raw and unpolished, giving the album a sense of urgency and immediacy that is often lacking in more mainstream punk releases.
Overall, "Damaged" is a classic punk album that still holds up after all these years. It's a fierce and uncompromising record that is sure to leave a lasting impression on anyone who listens to it. Black Flag may have been a product of their time, but their music still resonates with a timeless energy that is impossible to deny.

About the artist
Black Flag
Artist Profile: BLACK FLAG In the gritty underbelly of the punk rock scene, Black Flag emerged as a force to be reckoned with. Led by the enigmatic and often controversial figure, Henry Rollins, this band has made an indelible mark on the music world. Formed in Hermosa Beach, California in 1976, Black Flag quickly gained a reputation for their raw, intense live performances and rebellious spirit. With their blistering guitars, thunderous drums, and guttural vocals, they were like a hurricane sweeping through the stagnant waters of mainstream music. Their debut album, "Damaged", released in 1981, is a sonic onslaught that still resonates with fans today. Tracks like "Rise Above" and "TV Party" are anthems of defiance and frustration, capturing the zeitgeist of the Reagan era. Despite numerous lineup changes and internal conflicts, Black Flag continued to push the boundaries of punk rock, expanding their sound to incorporate elements of heavy metal and experimental noise. Their live shows were legendary for their intensity and chaos, with Rollins often diving headfirst into the mosh pit, a true man of the people. Although Black Flag disbanded in 1986, their influence can still be felt in the music of bands like Nirvana, The Offspring, and Rage Against the Machine. Their legacy is a testament to the power of punk rock to challenge the status quo and inspire generations of musicians to come. So here's to Black Flag, the uncompromising pioneers of hardcore punk, a band that never backed down from a fight and always stayed true to their DIY ethos. "We've got the right to make some noise," Rollins once declared, and make noise they did. And long may they reign.
