Bad Brains (album)
From The Giant: The Definitive Obey Giant Site
From Wikipedia:
Bad Brains is the second full-length studio album by Bad Brains. It is widely considered one of the most important albums in the history of punk rock.
When the album was unveiled in 1982 on ROIR records, fans and critics alike were stunned to learn that the musicians behind this album - one of the heaviest albums of all time upon its release - were religious African American Rastafarians who also were skilled at reggae. The album was a crucial step in the formation of hardcore punk and the eventual fusion of hard rock and reggae adopted later by bands like Fishbone and 311.
Many of the album's tracks were re-recorded for their 1983 follow-up, Rock for Light.
