their success.

Still going strong to this very day and still featuring three original members, Discharge are regulars at Punk festivals across the globe including the mega Rebellion Festival in the UK and Germany’s Punk N Disorderly Festival.
Metallica (‘Free Speech For The Dumb’, ‘The More I See’), Anthrax (‘Protest And Survive’), Sepultura (‘A Look At Tomorrow’, ‘Hear Nothing See Nothing Say Nothing’), Soulfly (‘Ain’t No Feeble Bastard’) and Machine Head (‘The Possibility Of Life’s Destruction’) are just some of the bands who have covered Discharge songs and the influence of the band’s early recordings and ‘D-Beat Discore’ sound has been felt across the whole Punk / Metal crossover scene.
