About

Napalm Death are a British extreme metal band from Birmingham, widely credited with defining grindcore through their 1987 debut Scum. Their music fuses hardcore punk, death metal and crust punk with overtly political lyrics, and they hold a Guinness World Record for the shortest recorded song - the one-second "You Suffer". Now in their fifth decade of activity, the current lineup of Barney Greenway, Shane Embury, Mitch Harris and Danny Herrera continues to tour relentlessly and work on a seventeenth studio album.
