Urban Discipline


Urban Discipline is the second studio album by American hardcore band Biohazard, released on November 10, 1992 by Roadrunner Records. A remastered edition featuring bonus tracks was released in 1998.
The intro to the song "Punishment" is from the 1989 superhero film The Punisher starring Dolph Lundgren.

Background

Biohazard recorded Urban Discipline in May and June 1992 at Fun City Studios in New York.
According to Billy Graziadei, an early version of "Five Blocks to the Subway" was written and recorded during the Urban Discipline sessions but was held back, as the band felt it was not ready for release. The track was later reworked and appeared on their third album, State of the World Address.
A remastered edition of the album was issued in 1998 with four demo tracks. In 2022, a 30th-anniversary double-LP reissue was released by Run Out Groove, featuring the same four demos but not "Five Blocks to the Subway", which has never been officially released in its Urban Discipline form.

Critical reception

In 2005, Urban Discipline was ranked number 277 in Rock Hard magazine's book The 500 Greatest Rock & Metal Albums of All Time.
