1. Coup d'État

   Coup d'Etat is the third studio album released by punk/metal band The Plasmatics in 1982. In 1982, a deal was inked with Capitol Records and Dan Hartman offered to produce a demo of the album for Capitol with Rod at Electric Lady Studios, Jimi Hendrix's old studio, in New York. A demo was arranged, recorded and mixed within a week. The album was recorded at Dierks Studios, near Cologne, Germany and was produced by Dieter Dierks, who had just come off a number one album with the Scorpions. Coup d'Etat was a breakthrough album that began to blend the punk and metal genres, something that would later be done time and time again by bands such as S.O.D., Anthrax, and the Cro-Mags by the end of the 1980s. Wendy also broke ground for her unique singing style; she pushed her vocals so hard she had to travel into Cologne each day for treatment to avoid permanent damage to her vocal cords. Despite the band's rise in fame, the band was dropped by Capitol Record shortly after the album's release. In 2005, Rock Candy Records re-released the album with expanded liner notes, bonus tracks, and a re-master of the entire original album. The song "The Damned" was covered by German Thrash band Destruction on the Mad Butcher EP in 1987. During the 1990s, Beavis & Butt-Head showed the video often.
