Grave Disorder is the ninth studio album from the British punk rock band the Damned, released on 21 August 2001. It was their first studio album in six years, and their only full-length release on Nitro Records. Grave Disorder marked the return of guitarist Captain Sensible after a long absence, and is the band's only album with bassist Patricia Morrison.
Background
The album is musically similar to Dave Vanian and Captain Sensible's previous Damned collaboration, Strawberries.
The album's name is taken from parliamentary convention in the United Kingdom, where a sitting may be adjourned should 'grave disorder' break out among members.
