Biography

27 years of grindcore ultra-violence, 27 years of being one of the hardest working, hardest touring bands on this miserable planet, NAPALM DEATH’s conviction, energy and belief in spontaneoust, outspoken yet extreme music is far from being watered down. “Time Waits For No Slave”, the band’s 13th studio album (excluding the cover album “Leaders Not Followers Pt.2”) marks no exception – as long as… Read more in Amazon's Napalm Death Store

5.0 out of 5 stars pure genius, October 14, 2002

This review is from: Utopia Banished (Audio CD)

Omigoddess, I'm glad to see this album again! No, it's not ND's fastest/ bloodiest/ grindcoriest album, and yes, it's attempting a benchmark. But I think it actually succeeds-- it's definitely more layered, say, (the magnificent) Harmony Corruption. And some tracks get downright creepy, "Contemptuous", for example, a wonderful echoing stomp. And you even get the patented throat-bleeding Barney Scream on a few songs to feed your bloodlust. Top picks: "Contemptuous", "I Abstain", "Got Time to Kill", "Dementia Access".

Probably the greatest grindcore album ever recorded from the originators of the sound. If youre interested in what the whole sounds about, check this album out.

NAPALM'S SECOND BEST ALBUM--F.E.T.O. BEING THE FIRST.ALL TRACKS ARE AMAZING AND BLISTERINGLY CRAZY, BUT THE BEST TRACK HAS TO BE CHRISTENING OF THE BLIND.IF YOU WANT INSANELY HEAVY GRIND,BY THE ALBUM!!!!!ND ARE SIMILAR TO CEPHALIC CARNAGE AND NASUM.
