Grave New World is the second studio album by English hardcore punk band Discharge, released on 16 June 1986[2] by Clay Records.

The album marks a radical stylistic change, with the band abandoning their previous hardcore punk style for a softer, and more accessible glam metal sound.

In order to promote the album, Discharge started the Grave New World tour in the UK, USA and Canada, but it would soon prove to be unsuccessful, and even disastrous for the band.

[citation needed] By the time the group were playing in New York City, the fans were so outraged that the concert nearly turned into a riot.

"[1] In a retrospective piece for The Pensive Quill, Christopher Owens described the record as "...a classic case of ambition over ability..." but still praised it for its more progressive moments.
