Description

A blistering debut and cornerstone of American hardcore, Damaged captures Black Flag at their most feral and uncompromising. With Henry Rollins on vocals and Greg Ginn’s jagged guitar assault, the album delivers 15 tracks of rage, alienation, and anti-authoritarian defiance. From the anthemic Rise Above to the nihilistic Depression, this is punk stripped to its rawest form.

This SST reissue preserves the original mix, pressed on standard black vinyl with the iconic Raymond Pettibon cover art. Engineered by Spot and recorded at Unicorn Studios, the album’s lo-fi intensity remains intact—unfiltered, unpolished, and unforgettable.
