Grave Disorder is the ninth studio album from the British punk rock band the Damned, released on 21 August 2001. It was their first release since signing to Nitro Records and only studio album with Patricia Morrison.
Background
[edit]The album is musically similar to Dave Vanian and Captain Sensible's previous Damned collaboration, Strawberries.[2]
