The Exploited – Death Before Dishonour (1987)

January 28, 2025

Disgusting, raw and angry as fuck – that’s what really good fucking punk is supposed to be, right? It’s a shame that Death Before Dishonour was recorded inside a wind tunnel, because otherwise I think this would be an absolute corker of an album. Wattie sounds insane here. The tracks generally are darker, more brooding, than most Exploited fare. There is also a big metal influence, something which would continue to bleed into the band’s sound over the coming years.

Honestly, this is great, but the production lets it down, and that’s coming from a complete and utter idiot like me that loves bad production.
