About this item

My War, the second studio album by Black Flag, polarized fans on its release in 1984 over the record’s B-side, which they slowed down to a heavier Black Sabbath vibe. Polarizing, considering their first album Damaged earned them a reputation for being one of the biggest hardcore punk acts of the 80’s.

The line-up had shrunk from five to three members: Henry Rollins (Vocals), Bill Stevenson (Drums), and co-founder Greg Ginn (Guitar, Bass). Ginn played bass under the name “Dale Nixon” after he kicked out Chuck Dukowski, another founding Black Flag member.

My War had a huge influence on the hardcore-meets-Sabbath sounds of the Melvins, Mudhoney, and Nirvana.
