BAD BRAINS: GOD OF LOVE Sixth Studio Album (1995)

BAD BRAINS: GOD OF LOVE Album cover

God of Love is the sixth studio album by the Bad Brains. It is the band’s first album since I Against I, released in 1986, with its original lineup. God of Love was released in May 23, 1995 on Maverick Records.

The release contains their usual mix of hardcore punk/metal and reggae, though with more the latter than any other Bad Brains album. The heavy-rock oriented title track received video airplay on MTV.

Backed by huge promotion from the label and an opening slot on the Beastie BoysIll Communication tour, the band fell apart as the volatile singer, H.R., was arrested several times; he was involved in beating a skinhead, a security guard, and the band’s manager in separate incidents during the tour.

The band missed a performance at Madison Square Garden with Beastie Boys due to H.R.‘s behavior, leading to yet another breakup. The band reunited in 1997. This album was re-released on Record Store Day, April 16, 2011, as only 2,000 copies along with a 7″.
