Urban Discipline
Urban Discipline is the second studio album by Biohazard, the American hardcore band, released on 10 November 1992 through Roadrunner Records. It followed their self-titled debut of 1990 and came before State of the World Address in 1994, so it sits at the start of the band's run of records for the label.
The music mixes hardcore punk with heavy metal, and it also leans into rap metal, which is a good part of why it still appeals to anyone who likes their guitars heavy and their rhythms blunt. One small curiosity: the intro to "Punishment" is taken from the 1989 superhero film The Punisher, starring Dolph Lundgren. A remastered edition with bonus tracks followed in 1998, which is a handy way in if you are catching up with the band.
