This footage of Napalm Death comes from 1988-89. Combining elements of hardcore, extreme metal, punk and industrial; their sonic output runs the gamut from heavy, slow and super chunky to a whirlwind blur of grinding speed. Lyrics often take an angry stand on socio/political issues or look closer to the world of personal politics and human interaction. Their sound has retained the power and speed as the years have gone by and membership has changed here and there. The band continues to perform today and will be playing in Massachusetts shortly.

I've got a buddy who's been getting me into listening to them.
ReplyDeleteGreat band with a huge sound. I dig most of their output, but prefer the Scum (87) and From Enslavement to Obliteration (88) lps as well as the Mentally Murdered (89) ep - sick low end and super dirty guitar sounds. Over the years have seen a bunch of wild Napalm Death shows, standouts include 1991 and 1994. Hope you're digging them.
ReplyDeleteThanks for those recommendations. I'll have to make sure I check those out. What I've heard so far I'm really digging.
ReplyDeleteOh yeah. I am really loving your header. Very awesome!
Thanks Keith, the image(s) of the beautiful Ms. Helen Mirren comes from 1969s Age of Consent.
