Discharge built such a foundation for the floundering hardcore scene in the early 80s that their influence is visible today within any random handful of underground bands. Simple punk riffs in a chromatic modality typify the "hardcore" style of punk music that emerged in the late 1970s and early 1980s, with Discharge modifying this further to include a constant beat and riffing that pulled its energy from tension within instead of conclusion-based point-to-point riffing. With a heavy metal eye toward structure in riffing, and a punk approach toward communication, Discharge use shouted vocals repeating sloganesque phrases in a cadence inconsiderate of guitar and percussion rhythms, lashing out an ambient vision of the cycle which traps humanity. The first disc of this compilatoin contains early, more conventional recordings from this band as well as the groundbreaking "Hear Nothing, See Nothing, Say Nothing" sessions. The second disc is material from later years, where they vacillated between hardcore and a metal/punk hybrid of something like Slayer's "South of Heaven". Underground metal learned basic melody and ambient riffing method from this seminal band and the world of hardcore never recovered momentum after the loss of the powerful and charismatic voice they exemplified.
