Biography

There are several artists called Napalm:
(1) trio from New York.
(2) Napalm records / artists
(3) A punk band from Hamburg, active in the early 80s.
(4) A French black metal band
(5) Hc punk band from Japan.

1) Originally known as Combat, the thrash trio Napalm managed to secure a record deal with Combat Records (no relation, but the label forced the name change to Napalm) and their first release was a self-titled EP in 1986 as part of Combat’s Bootcamp series. Arguably the best release from the band, the EP was an energetic thrashfest and one of the better sellers of the series, but despite already having a longer-term deal with Combat, band and label couldn’t see eye to eye and the original lineup folded. Bassist Chris Wiedner recruited a brand-new lineup, but Combat nullified the contract, and so it was SPV who eventually released Napalm’s first full-length album, Cruel Tranquility in 1989. Wiedner himself was ousted from the band shortly thereafter, and by the time of 1990’s Zero To Black the style was less thrash and more power metal based, the least representative of the band’s style and attitude. In 1992, vocalist/guitarist Chris Liggio (aka. Krztoff) and guitarist Jeff Lombardi went onto create industrial metal band Bile with E-X-E bassist, R.H. Bear. Though the band known as Napalm is no longer active, the Rossbach brothers (the other two-thirds of the original Combat EP lineup) are still active in the music scene, having resurrected the old Combat name and occasionally play in the NYC area.
