Hail the tiny desk!
Oh man, I hate Napalm Death. I remember one day when I was a young dope trying to find music that connected with me. I heard some early Amorphis and I loved it. The growling lead vocals and symphonic interludes convinced me that I was into death metal. Then I went to our local CD swap shop called 'Wee-Bee CD's' and the dude showed me a few great death metal bands. (or what he considered good) and one of them was Napalm Death. I recognized Napalm Death (at least the name) from an awesome track off the Mortal Kombat Movie soundtrack. (Which honestly, is one of the greatest film soundtracks of all times!!) I loved the song during the killer Scorpion fight scene in hell! So yeah, my interest was immediately peaked! I picked out 'Scum', ND's debut from 1987 and when I popped it into the car stereo for the drive home I was immediately struck with buyers remorse. There's like 25 songs on this thing, and most are just a minute long with the same washed over riffs ...
