Black Flag - My War - LP

When Black Flag dropped My War in 1984, half the hardcore scene was left stunned. Side A still rages with classic speed – furious, short blasts delivered one after another. But then comes Side B, where everything slows down: heavy, suffocating riffs and repetitive passages that feel more like the blueprint for sludge metal than hardcore. That split personality is exactly what makes the record legendary – a fearless move against expectations that pushed boundaries forward. My War isn’t an easy listen, but that’s why it cuts so deep. Fan club version.
