Birmingham, England (1981 – present)
Napalm Death are an English extreme metal band from Birmingham, formed in 1981. The band was formed in the village of Meriden (near Birmingham), England in May 1981[4] by Nicholas Bullen and Miles Ratledge.
Although other groups had previously played fast and aggressive music with a similar style, Napalm Death are credited with defining the grindcore genre through their blend of hardcore, crust punk and death metal musical structures, aggressive playing, short song lengths, fast tempos, and deep guttural vocals. The group coined the terms ‘grind’ and ‘grindcore’ to describe the music they played with particular reference to the sound of American industrial group Swans.[5]
The group were included in the Guinness Book of World Records as writers of the shortest recorded song (“You Suffer” from their first album Scum).
Napalm Death are listed by Nielsen Soundscan as the seventh best-selling death metal band in the United States.
Early history 1981–1986
Napalm Death were formed in the village of Meriden near Birmingham, in the United Kingdom, in May 1981 by Nic Bullen and Miles Ratledge while the duo were still in their early teenage years. The duo had been playing in amateur bands since 1980 as an extension of their fanzine writing, and went through a number of names (including “Civil Defence”, “The Mess”, “Evasion” and “Undead Hatred”) before choosing Napalm Death in mid 1981.
