Black Flag - Annihilate This Week 1986 US 1st Press VG+/VG+

BLACK FLAG - ANNIHILATE THIS WEEK

Experience the heavy, uncompromising power of late-era hardcore punk history with Annihilate This Week by Black Flag. Serving as a vital live 12" document from their historic 1985 Portland performance, this legendary SST Records EP stands as a definitive masterclass in aggressive stage energy and rhythmic weight. The three-song tracklist bridges the band's metallic guitar approach with their classic punk foundation, shifting from the confrontational title track on Side A to the collaborative drive of "Best One Yet" and the slow, brooding expanse of "Sinking" on the flip side. From Henry Rollins' intense, muscular vocal delivery and Greg Ginn's complex, unconventional guitar riffs to the lockstep rhythm section anchored by Kira Roessler and Anthony Martinez, this release captures the group at their most unyielding and fierce. Featuring its infamous and highly debated illustrated cover art, this essential 12" is a non-negotiable cornerstone for any serious punk archivist, alternative rock historian, or independent music collector.
