- Enemy Of The Music Business (2000) The ’90s were a tough time for many heavy bands, and Napalm’s line-up changes and stylistic deviations left many fans wondering if they were a spent force.
- Utilitarian (2012) Utilitarian is Napalm’s experimental grindcore with sax freakouts from jazz legend John Zorn – what’s not to like? Savagely explorative and full of the kind of risks that a band of Naplam’s vintage rarely take, this is a late period masterpiece.
- Throes Of Joy In The Jaws Of Defeatism (2020) The most recent Napalm album continues their seemingly endless hot streak. This time the influence of Joy Division post-punk and Sonic Youth noise rock are brought to the fore with thrilling results like Amoral.
- Smear Campaign (2006) Napalm go symphonic? When Anneke Van Giersbergen was roped in for Smear Campaign, some feared the worst. More fool them, though: as ever, Napalm brought new influences to their sound without compromising one iota of intensity.
Napalm Death have released sixteen studio albums, and are listed by Nielsen SoundScan as the seventh-best-selling death metal band in the United States. According to former vocalist Lee Dorrian , Scum and From Enslavement to Obliteration (1988) have sold a combined total of 400,000 copies worldwide.
- 1981–present
- Meriden, West Midlands, England
- 'Scum' (1987) This is the one that started everything. ‘ Scum’ may not be the perfect representation of the grinding sound Napalm Death came to harness.
- 'Utopia Banished' (1992) So you like riffs, huh? They don’t get better than this. ‘ Utopia Banished’ restored a sound more aligned with what fans had originally expected before Napalm’s one-off effort at the famed Morrisound Studios and it’s here that Barney Greenway really makes an impact, distancing himself further from his old band, Benediction.
- 'Harmony Corruption' (19990) Did Napalm Death jump on the death metal bandwagon? Not really. On the Scott Burns-produced ‘Harmony Corruption,’ Benediction’s Barney Greenway had replaced Lee Dorrian, and the band set out across the ocean to Florida’s Morrisound Studios where seemingly every burgeoning extreme metal band was tracking.
- 'Utilitarian' (2012) To grind purists, Harris’ clean vocal dominance on “Fall on Their Swords” and “The Wolf I Feed” may have signaled misdirection on ‘Utilitarian’, but it brought in fresh elements that help make the album a late-career highlight, contending with long-standing classics.
With 1994's Fear, Emptiness, Despair, Napalm Death earned some of the best critical notices of their career, and to the shock of many even found themselves in the Top Ten of the U.S. pop albums chart by virtue of their appearance on the soundtrack to the motion picture Mortal Kombat.
