In 2001, the classic line-up of Morris, Roberts, and Wainright reunited after meeting at a party held by original bassist Bamford, and in 2002 they released their self-titled album Discharge, a return to their early 1980s style featuring political commentary and aggressive playing.
As well, they brought back their intense D-beat drumming style, although combined with the remaining metal influence, it gave the album a speed metal influence with its thrashy riffs.

Morris would not commit to touring to promote the album and left the band, to be replaced by Anthony "Rat" Martin of The Varukers.
The single "The Beginning of the End" was released in 2006, which marked a further step towards a return to the punk sound.
Dave "Proper" Caution replaced Terence Roberts after his second departure this same year, and the group released the Disensitise album in 2008.
In 2011 the band released an EP titled "Propaganda Feeds".
In 2012 they released a split single with American band Off with Their Heads, released on Drunken Sailor Records.
In 2014, they played the Black and Blue Bowl in Brooklyn, New York.
Rat was replaced by Jeff "JJ" Janiak, while Tezz Roberts returned to the band, except this time on rhythm guitar rather than drums making Discharge a five-piece.

On 3 June 2015, the group premiered a new song called "New World Order".
An EP containing the song and a live recording of "Ain't No Feeble Bastard" was released on 16 January 2016, entitled New World Order.
On 10 February 2016, the band announced that their 7th studio album, titled End of Days, was to be released sometime in April.
It would be Discharge's first album with singer JJ and their first album as a five-piece band.
On 3 March 2016, the Nuclear Blast YouTube channel uploaded a new song, "Hatebomb," which would later on be available through other streaming services.
The same day, the band released the track listing for End Of Days.

End of Days, Discharge's seventh studio album, was released on 29 April through Nuclear Blast Records and entered the Official UK rock charts at #10 and on the indie charts at #23.
The success of the album saw the band touring Europe and the USA.
MetalBlast gave the album a positive review, stating that it "...showcases everything about the band that has earned them their legendary status.
The guitar work is fast and brutal, that famous D-beat drumming pattern is in full effect, and the vocals are a gruff, angry bark."
The review states that the "songs are short, violent bursts of punk rock fury, brimming with an energy" with "a real sense of menace and sincerity in the tone" and it is "[r]elentless from start to finish".
The production was praised as clear and "live"-sounding; the only negative comment was the lack of melody on the record.
