Discharge

Discharge are a British hardcore punk band formed in 1977 by Terence “Tezz” Roberts and Royston “Rainy” Wainwright. While the band had substantial line-up changes over its history, the classic line-up from the early 1980s featured bassist Wainwright, drummer Gary Maloney, Anthony “Bones” Roberts playing guitar, and vocalist Kelvin “Cal” Morris. The band is characterized by a minimalistic approach of music and lyrics. Heavy, distorted, and grinding guitar-driven sound and raw, shouted vocals similar to a political speech, with lyrics on anarchist and pacifist themes, over intense drone-like rhythms. Discharge’s influence on heavy metal is incalcuble and metal superstars such as Metallica, Anthrax and Sepultura have covered Discharge’s songs in tribute. Today band consists of: Tezz, Bones, Rainy, Proper and JJ Janiak. Band announced their 7th studio album “End Of Days” via Nuclear Blast Records.
