Napalm Death
 

Yeah.. i said some bad things about Napalm Death on GFY a while ago but....

Recently purchased some more recent Napalm Death albums
just for the fuck of it and i gotta say: i'm hooked.


It takes a while before you get used to the genre
but it's just fucking amazing.


Just listen to this for example.
(hope my conversion works)

Turn up the volume and _dont_ fastforward!!!

Fucking awesome!! Music / Tech / Timing.. everything is 99%.

or this


Fuckin' A.

I saw Napalm Death in the mid 90's after Harmony Corruption came out. They were amazing live. I haven't heard much of their newer stuff, I think I like their older, faster, noisier stuff better, but they're still worth listening to.

I remember that well Mr.Thumbs, I was one of the hardcore faithful trying to convince you to give them a deeper listen :)

I rememebr the moment I realized I was hooked on grindcore....it started with Napalm Death "Scum" through their masterpiece "Harmony Corruption" and of course onto Obituary, Deicide (the evilest, loudest, fastest most demonic band in the world ;)) Bolt Thrower, Cannibal Corpse, and on and on through the growling grunting tortured throats of bands like Sore Throat and Godflesh.

I admit the music is never going to be commercially successful and I like the fact that they'll never recieve notable radio or MTV play (although they actually did get some play on Headbanger's Ball a long time ago (just after Harmony Corruption came out) and the UNLV station used to have Grindcore Hour at midnight on Wednesdays and of course Napalam Death got mucho play there ;) They even appeared on Beavis and Butthead once......

If anyone has ever seen the television version of Ace Ventura, Pet Detective, they show an extended scene of him jamming with Cannibal Corpse :) I remembr watching that movie in the theater and being the only one going "fuck yeah!" when I saew Cannibal Corpse in the movie (and their love ballad Hammer Smashed face ;)). Jim carrey once mentioned on the Arsenio Hall Show that he was a fan of Napalm Death.

Napalm Death was even featured on the first Mortal Kombat soundtrack....hmmm, maybe they will get a little commercial success (if they can keep barney around long enough ;))

I had a friend into ND and he played it and other music like it constantly on 6 hour road trip a few years ago. Unfortunately I kept falling asleep while listening to it. I find it unbelievably repetative and I produce techno music....!

No diss intended though - I respect pretty much all forms of music except country!

Those guys are from Birmingham, UK and spend their time drinking and eating way too much curry - which explains the vocal style.
