Decapitated

In 1983 Bones left Discharge and formed Broken Bones. To round out the ranks of this new group, Bones enlisted his brother Tezz (also formerly of Discharge,) and their mates Nobby and Bazz. Broken Bones debut EP, Decapitated, was unleashed in 1984. While nothing Broken Bones ever did comes remotely close to Discharge in their prime, I still find every Broken Bones release thoroughly enjoyable, and Broken Bones later flirtations with metal were far more palatable than Discharge's. Just sayin'.

  1. Just discovered this blog and have thoroughly enjoyed all the obscurity of it. Great record by Broken Bones Bones. This and their Crucifix 7" are amazing. Totally overlooked UK band.

  5. Maybe a week or so back you posted a Mexican black metal band. Do you own or have the ability to post any Xibalba (another good mexican black metal band)?
