After the first of their countless breakups, the Bad Brains reconvened in 1986 to record this, their undeniable masterwork. Fusing dub reggae and funk rhythms into the mix, and slowing the tempo down enough to appeal to hardcore's emergent metal crossover audience, the Bad Brains created one of the most powerful collections the '80s produced in any genre. On "I Against I" and "House of Suffering," the quartet suffuses traditional Jamaican spiritualism with modern urban concerns, while the soaring "Sacred Love" is guaranteed to send shivers down the spine of anyone with any soul whatsoever. An essential release.

During the hardcore years of the late eighties, Chain of Strength showcased its straight power with this album. They did several passes through the states and did shows with bands like Gorilla Biscuits, Sick of it All, Youth of Today, Bold, Soulside, Social Distortion, and the Cro Mags. This amazing release also includes the 7" release True Till Death from Revelation and the self released 7" What Holds Us Apart plus an unreleased track. Chain of Strength brings you hardcore straight edge in the purest form. Most of you already know, others are still learning.
