![]() FETO represents a violent collision of everything that was bubbling up in the underground in the mid-’80s, offering the same sort of smart, dizzying connections that mutual band hero Peel typically made with the playlists for his free-associative program. Drummer (and sometimes vocalist) Mick Harris and vocalist Lee Dorrian were steeped in the world of punk rock and hardcore, while bassist Shane Embury and guitarist Bill Steer were the band’s most aggressive metal tape-traders/demo hounds. Napalm Death’s recorded output in the interval-1988’s From Enslavement to Obliteration, two manic sessions recorded for Radio One DJ John Peel, and 1989’s Mentally Murdered EP-showcases a band that was light years ahead of its peers in terms of its ability to move forward and innovate, even with shoddy equipment, technical handicaps and dismal environs.īy the time From Enslavement to Obliteration came out in September 1988, Napalm Death were very much at the vanguard of punk and metal, particularly because the band members themselves came from different scenes. ![]() This particular iteration of Napalm Death was notably short-lived, but the sheer amount the quartet was able to accomplish in a two-year run between the summer of ’87 and summer of ’89 is absolutely mental. ![]() ![]() Hall of Fame grindcore, Hall of Fame, Napalm Death. ![]()
