(Earsplit) Candlelight Records have announced the next wave in their classics series that will include releases from Discharge, Extreme Noise Terror, and The Varukers. New to the series, the label will release Disensitise and War Is Hell from Discharge on August 23, followed by Holocaust In My Head by Extreme Noise Terror on September 27 and the 2CD The Damnation Of Our Species by The Varukers. England's Discharge are considered one of the first hardcore punk bands that significantly merged metal with their punk stylings.Characterized by a heavy, distorted, grinding guitar sound, the band's raw, shouted vocals and insightful lyrics made them a favorite on "anarcho" lists from the start.Formed in 1977, the band enjoyed a number of charting albums in the UK in the early '80s.Reunited in 2000, the band currently features founder Anthony "Rat" Martin, Tony "Bones" Roberts, Roy "Rainy" Wainright, and Dave "Proper" Caution. Disensitise and War Is Hell feature all new packaging and include previously unavailable songs. Extreme Noise Terror's trademark noise has done very well for the UK bevy over their fifteen-plus year career. The band's abrasive, dual-voiced, grinding brutality maims, pulverizes, and simply destroys all in earshot. Formed in 1985, grindcore's founding unit fiercely rallied an international fanbase with sharp lyrics and a piercing sound. Regular guests on John Peel's BBC Radio 1 Program, the band has featured vocalist Mark "Barney" Greenway (Napalm Death), guitarist Gian Pyres (Cradle of Filth), and drummer Mick Harris (Napalm Death/Scorn) among their various line-ups throughout the years. Original vocalist Phil Vane passed away in his sleep earlier this year due to a cerebrovascular accident. He was 46 years old. Holocaust In My Head compiles 21 tracks of government overthrowing crust/punk all served up in pummeling doses. Dating to 1979, THE Varukers are considered part of the "UK82" or second wave of English hardcore punk. Alongside their peers (Amebix, Chaos UK, GBH), the band's sound was heavily fueled by the energies and ideologies of 1977-era punk. The band would tour heavily before splintering for several years. Reformed since 1991, the five-piece have continued to impress and keep a loyal and passionate fanbase. The Damnation Of Our Species features 44 songs on a special 2cd set, including selections from their One Struggle One Fight, Murder, How Do You Sleep and Killing Myself To Live albums.
