Originally released as the Discharge 'Tour Edition' CD. Tracks 1-13 are studio and live songs with Rat (Varukers) on vocals. Discharge went on to become the pioneers of a 'Dis-beat' sound, numerous bands have been shaped by to this day! An album like Discharge's 1982 masterpiece Hear Nothing See Nothing Say Nothing can sometimes be one of the worst things to happen to a band. That disc reached the British Top 40 and spawned an entire subculture of hardcore bands (especially in Japan and Scandinavia) who adopted Discharge's insistent music style, subsequently dubbed D-beat, as well as its leftist/anarchist politics and crusty black-leather look. The band couldn't live up to Hear Nothing, though lineup changes quickly followed, and Discharge, like other hardcore bands of the '80s, fooled around with crossover speed metal before breaking up in 1987. So if any classic first - or second-wave punk band deserved a well-received reunion, it was Discharge. These two new reissues capture some of the band's peak moments since reforming in 2001. War Is Hell is a compilation of classic Discharge songs re-recorded in 2008 by the current lineup (Anthony "Rat" Martin has replaced original singer Cal Morris). It is a handy introduction to the band, which is still ferocious 30 years later. Add this to a copy of Hear Nothing and you have a pretty thorough overview of the band's classic era!!
