My 100 Favorite Metal Bands Pt. 72: Napalm Death

I have always liked Napalm Death, but when my wife bought me one of their 3 CD sets is when I really got into them. Napalm Death is widely viewed as a pioneering band in the grindcore genre. This is a well-deserved reputation. Napalm Death was also one of the first groups to experiment by adding in death metal elements to their grindcore sound. They have released albums with varying degrees of death metal and grindcore for nearly thirty years now and they still sound more aggressive and powerful than most of their imitators.

FAVORITE ALBUM: FEAR, EMPTINESS, DESPAIR

  1. I find that I actually like their newer albums the best of anything they've done. I think they've found a really good balance between death and grind.

  2. I agree with you there. I like the stuff mainly after they became a deathgrind band, and their newer stuff is incredible.
