Damage Your Ass is the debut studio album by Sierran thrash metal band Damage Inc. It was initially released on 12 September 1980 by Vanquish Records through a limited printing of 5,000 copies, which shortly sold out. In early 1981, it would be reported in local magazines that the album has sold over 40,000 copies, and in 1988 would be certified Gold according to the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). Following the bankruptcy of Vanquish Records in 2001, its catalog of artist's master recordings would be auctioned for sale, with the original master tape for the album being sold to Avocado Records for an undisclosed amount. It has since been included in other Damage Inc compilations and re-released as a result.
