Birmingham, England (1981 – present)
Napalm Death is a grindcore/death metal band from Birmingham, England. The band was formed in the village of Meriden near Birmingham, England in 1981 by Nicholas Bullen and Miles Ratledge.
Although other groups had previously played fast and aggressive music, Napalm Death is credited with defining the Grindcore genre through its fusion of punk and metal musical structures, aggressive playing, fast tempos, and deep guttural vocals. The group coined the term ‘Grind’ to describe the music they played in reference to the sound of American post-punk group Swans.
There are no original members left in the band: indeed, the early history of the band is one of constant member rotation - by the second side of its debut album “Scum” in 1987, the band did not contain any original members.
Napalm Death have released 13 albums to date, the latest being “Time Waits For No Slave”.

Mark Barney Greenway (Vocals)

There really is no hope for humanity. It's just like "I'm Rick James, bitch!"; Dave Chappelle's comedy messages were lost in a haze of RICK JAMES, BITCH, and likewise, Napalm Death has become a third-rate meme by people who aren't even fans because of this 'Just like your haircut' bullshit. You are the ones responsible for the eventual downfall of the Western world. EVERYBODY ABOARD THE MEME BOAT THERE'S ROOM FOR EVERYONE! Idiots.
