'''''Use Once and Destroy''''' is the debut studio album by American [[Heavy metal music|heavy metal]] band [[Superjoint Ritual]], released on May 21, 2002.<ref name="allmusic" /> The guitar and bass work was done by [[Phil Anselmo]] and [[Eyehategod]]'s [[Jimmy Bower]]. Drumming was performed by Joe Fazzio. For touring bass duties, the band recruited [[Hank Williams III]]. Anselmo did not want to play bass live because he wanted to focus mainly on singing.

''Use Once and Destroy'' is a slightly different approach to music than the work of [[Pantera]], one of Anselmo's other bands. It has been described as a mix of [[hardcore punk]] and [[sludge metal]].<ref name="revolver" >{{Cite web|date=April 17, 2019|title=Fan Poll: 5 Best Songs Under 2 Minutes|url=https://www.revolvermag.com/music/fan-poll-5-best-songs-under-2-minutes|access-date=January 9, 2021|website=[[Revolver (magazine)|Revolver]]}}</ref> [[AllMusic]] called it "some of the most intense heavy [[thrash metal]] to be released in 2002".<ref name="allmusic" />
