Incredible how they're still putting out material this good, Barney in particular never seems to age.

Vocally and physically, haha.

Fully agree with the review: it's amazing how diverse this is without having a disjointed feeling. I do seriously miss the deep vocals, but what the hell... This rules. Second best 21st century ND behind Utilitarian in my book

Been gradually working my way through their discography, the quality of basically all their 21st century albums is insane

book by Shane sounds intriguing, but the marketing lingo on that website really puts me off...



'Napalm Death bassist Shane Embury has been a major figure in grindcore for more than four decades': interesting to know that he was a major figure in grindcore before 1983...

Haha. Yep I took a look at that today when I posted me comment and the whole marketing bollocks actually made me lol

To be fair Shane has been at it for more than four decades though 80s,90s,00s,10s,20s

"interesting to know that he was a major figure in grindcore before 1983..."

grindcore is the link between hardcore punk and metal so i can buy it if he was in the uk punk scene in the early 80's. lots of seminal hxc punk came out in the first few years of the decade.

mm there were many bands linking Hardcore punk and metal from at least the mid 80s, like say S.O.D., DRI, Suicidal Tendencies or Spudmonsters. But as that is what used to be called crossover (before that term was used for rap metal in the 90s) and not Grindcore, I am not all down with that explanation but still think it is marketing hyperbole not realizing that it speaks of more than 40 years leading on Grindcore which didn't even exist 40 years ago.



But anyway, the book will rule regardless!
