FOR FANS OF: REPULSION, SIEGE, CELTIC FROST, BRUTAL TRUTH

Napalm Death's first LP, Scum, along with Repulsion's Horrified, basically created the blueprint for Grindcore. While Repulsion chose gory and grotesque subject matter, Napalm Death had more serious and political lyrics. The funny thing about this album is that the A side and B side are almost completely different bands, only drummer Mick Harris plays on both sides. Members on this album went on to play in Godflesh/Jesu, Cathedral, Carcass and many many other influential bands in metal. Napalm Death combined the speed and anger of Siege with the sludgy driving riffs of Celtic Frost to create a sound that influenced every grind band to come afterwards. Over twenty years after this album was released, Napalm Death are still alive and kicking, their most recent album "Time Waits For No Slave" is a document to how they have stuck with what works and still beat the shit out of most bands half their age.
