Hear Nothing See Nothing Say Nothing is the debut studio album by English hardcore punk band Discharge and was released in 1982.

 

The album has a heavy, distorted, and grinding guitar-driven sound. A high-speed noise overload characterized by ferocious noise blasts. The album is considered highly influential in the evolution of extreme forms of metal and punk music, paving the way for genres such as thrash metal, black metal, crust punk and grindcore. Free Speech For The Dumb was covered by Metallica on their Garage, Inc. album.

 

Terrorizer magazine readers once listed the album as the number one punk album of all time, crowning it a mercilessly brutal masterpiece. It's one of the top ten essential hardcore albums, along with Black Flag's Damaged and the Dead Kennedys Fresh Fruit for Rotting Vegetables.

 

Hear Nothing See Nothing Say Nothing is available as a limited numbered edition of 1000 copies on black/white swirl vinyl, with a gatefold sleeve.
