Damaged

Pure aggression, raw energy, and an unfiltered sonic assault—Damaged is the album that redefined hardcore punk. Released in 1981, this debut full-length from Black Flag is a furious, unapologetic statement of rage, rebellion, and disillusionment. With Henry Rollins taking over on vocals, Damaged is relentless from start to finish, channeling frustration and chaos into 15 tracks of blistering intensity.

From the unhinged opening of Rise Above to the self-destructive spiral of Damaged I, every track is a cathartic explosion of distorted guitars, frantic drumming, and raw, visceral lyricism. This isn’t just punk—it’s a battle cry, a cultural landmark, and one of the most influential hardcore albums of all time.

Now pressed on high-quality vinyl, Damaged hits even harder, delivering the unfiltered, DIY grit that defined the early '80s punk scene. If you’re looking to experience the true essence of hardcore, this record belongs on your turntable.
