Headcharger Death Sound

Formed in Birmingham, UK in 1982, by Nik Bullen. Napalm Death were originally one of the bands that defined the UK hardcore thrash/punk sound of the mid-late 1980s, along with bands such as Extreme Noise Terror, Doom and Sore Throat. The band has gone through countless line-ups and many former members have gone on to become significant figures in a variety of musical scenes…

Words cannot do this album enough justice. This is a truly glorious metal release, certainly Death's finest hour, and easily one of the top metal albums of all time. The sheer ferocity and emotion that channels through each of the intricate, progressive guitar melodies shatters every low opinion of the American metal scene. When you combine Chuck Schuldiner's shrieking vocals (his eeriest performance ever) with the most talented, cohesive lineup yet, you get the definitive Death album. This album delicately mixes the best aspects of past albums Human, Individual Thought Patterns, and Symbolic and takes them one step further. The album is more aggressive, more progressive, and certainly more melodic…

The band named Death contained so many different musicians (almost 20) under the volatile stewardship of obstinate frontman Chuck Schuldiner, that it's remarkable any lineup ever held together long enough to go out on tour. But, in fact, Death was one of the hardest touring metal bands of their ilk, even though testimonials of the band's live prowess were anything but legion, and Schuldiner himself decided to go AWOL on one infamous occasion (nearly scuttling a high-profile European tour with Kreator, completed by his soon-to-be henchmen and a few hired guns). Perhaps it was the sour taste left by that experience, perhaps not, but this may explain why Death's entire career through to final studio album, The Sound of Perseverance, in 1998, was never interrupted by an official in-concert release…
