Our Take

Ah, Napalm Death, the veterans of grindcore, the kings of cacophony, the sultans of sonic assault. Their latest offering, "Noise For Music's Sake," is a whirlwind of distortion, blast beats, and guttural vocals that will leave you questioning your own sanity.

From the opening track "Suffer The Children" to the closing notes of "Breeding Death," Napalm Death deliver a relentless barrage of noise that is as exhilarating as it is chaotic. With tracks averaging around a minute in length, the band wastes no time in getting straight to the point, hitting the listener with a sonic punch to the gut.

Guitarist Mitch Harris and bassist Shane Embury create a wall of sound that is both punishing and mesmerising, while drummer Danny Herrera’s pummelling beats provide the backbone of the album. Frontman Mark "Barney" Greenway's vocals are as ferocious as ever, spitting out political and social commentary with the intensity of a thousand suns.

The production on "Noise For Music's Sake" is raw and unpolished, adding to the overall ferocity of the record. This is not an album for the faint-hearted, but for those willing to embrace the chaos, it is a thrilling ride from start to finish.

In conclusion, Napalm Death have once again proven why they are legends of the genre with "Noise For Music's Sake." This is a must-listen for any fan of extreme music, a cacophony of noise that will leave you both exhilarated and exhausted. Hats off to the grindcore kings, long may they reign.

About the artist

Napalm Death

NAPALM DEATH: The Grindcore Titans When it comes to extreme music, few bands can match the ferocity and intensity of Napalm Death. Hailing from Birmingham, England, these grindcore pioneers have been making ears bleed since 1981, and show no signs of slowing down. With a sound that combines blistering speed, guttural vocals, and politically charged lyrics, Napalm Death have carved out a unique niche in the metal world. Led by the iconic frontman Barney Greenway, Napalm Death's live performances are a sight to behold. Known for their high-energy shows and confrontational lyrics, Greenway and his bandmates have built a reputation as one of the most intense live acts in the scene. From the frenzied mosh pits to the profanity-laden rants, Napalm Death shows are not for the faint of heart. Their discography is a testament to their relentless creativity and musical prowess. Albums like "Scum" and "Harmony Corruption" have become classics of the genre, influencing countless bands in their wake. And with recent releases like "Throes of Joy in the Jaws of Defeatism," Napalm Death continue to push the boundaries of what grindcore can be. But perhaps what sets Napalm Death apart from their peers is their unwavering commitment to social and political issues. From animal rights to anti-fascism, Napalm Death have never shied away from using their platform to speak out against injustice. In a world where many bands shy away from controversy, Napalm Death remain unapologetically outspoken. In a genre known for its brutality and aggression, Napalm Death stand out as true pioneers. With their uncompromising sound and fearless activism, they are a force to be reckoned with in the world of extreme music.
