Grave New World is the second studio album by English hardcore punk band Discharge, released in 1986 by Clay Records. The album marks a radical stylistic change, with the band abandoning their previous hardcore punk style for a softer, and more accessible glam metal sound.[1] The band split up in 1986, shortly after the album's release, but would end up reforming in 1990.

Content

The album sees the band move away from their previous style, by turning towards heavy metal, and particularly to a softer and more accessible glam metal sound. Vocalist Kelvin "Cal" Morris also switched from his previous shouting vocals to falsetto ones for this album.{{citation needed|date=May 2015}} Morris later blamed his rediscovery of Led Zeppelin for this decision. The tempos also became much slower, and a higher-quality sound took place in the recording.{{citation needed|date=May 2015}}

In order to promote the album, Discharge started the Grave New World tour in the UK, USA and Canada, but it would soon prove to be unsuccessful, and even disastrous for the band.{{citation needed|date=May 2015}} By the time the group were playing in New York City, the fans were so outraged that the concert nearly turned into a riot. For instance, Bad Brains frontman H.R., got onto a balcony and started dumping ice on the musicians while they were playing.[1] The album soon turned out to be a commercial failure. Discharge disbanded shortly after the tour.[1]

Critical reception

The album received mostly mixed to negative reviews from professional music critics; Allmusic's Eduardo Rivadavia called it a "baffling and disheartening fall from grace" for the band, and also remarked that "it really might as well been credited to a different band."[2]
