Roadrunner Records / Europe / RE 2024, Unofficial
The album that split the hardcore scene in two is back. Originally released in 1984, My War saw Black Flag moving away from the breakneck speed of their early years into darker, heavier, and more experimental territory. While Side A delivers the frantic punk energy they were known for, Side B slowed things down to a crushing, sludge-filled crawl that paved the way for the future of grunge and doom.
This 2024 reissue by Roadrunner Records brings this essential masterpiece back to the shelves. Featuring Henry Rollins’ most visceral vocal performance and Greg Ginn’s legendary, dissonant guitar work, My War remains one of the most influential and polarizing records in the history of alternative music. Complete with the iconic Raymond Pettibon cover art, this is a cornerstone for any serious record collection.
