The Complete 1982 Demos is an unreleased set of demo tracks intended for a follow-up album to Black Flag's debut album Damaged (1981). The tracks recorded show the band moving in a riff-driven, heavy metal-inflected direction, away from the pure hardcore punk of the first album. Due to legal issues, the album was never recorded, though most of the tracks were re-recorded for later albums. Though never officially released, the recordings have been widely bootlegged.

History

Following their debut album Damaged, Black Flag debuted a number of songs in their live shows. The songs tended toward being dark, riff-heavy, and heavy metal-like, in contrast to the first album's straight-ahead hardcore punk, and included funk and jazz elements.

Drummer Chuck Biscuits, tired of the group's legal battles, left in the winter of 1982. He was followed by guitarist Dez Cadena, who left in 1983 to form the band DC3.

The recordings have never been officially released, but have been widely bootlegged.

All tracks written by Greg Ginn, except where noted.
