DECONTROL is the second EP from DISCHARGE of 1980. After dropping the bomb of “Realites Of War” which showed the world just how to assault the ear drums and how to refine unbridled anger into pure musical vitriol displaying pure fury and no compromise, the band released their second EP with another short run clocking in at only 5:40 but still a whole 50 seconds longer than the debut. That’s almost a whole song’s length in the punk world!

DECONTROL doesn’t display a huge leap in song structure. They lyrics are just as nihilistic and the basic punk song structure is the same but it does seem to have a bit more development in the musical department. Terry Roberts’ drumming seems more controlled and varied with more cymbal action at times displaying a growing mastery of the d-beat style he created. The production sounds a bit different to me as well not being as muddy as the debut but still raw and lo-fi enough to please all the dirty rockers with the full-on guitar buzz saw fury and shouted vocals.

As with “Realties Of War,” DECONTROL was originally only released on 7” vinyl but now is included as bonus tracks on the 2007 remastered edition of “Why.”
