Slave To The Grind.
Next year sees the 40th anniversary since Napalm Death slapped their gnarly Grindcore boot on the landscape of the music scene. A triumph indeed my friends that my local heroes should survive this loves me, loves me not industry and that many fans are still fervent in their adulation.
New single ‘Backlash Just Because’ is exactly the amalgam you would expect from these fellas, punky, spunky and gritty around the edges, with kick to the crotch words to match, we despair at those who ‘kneel in thrall’ and with rhythms a hive of hyperactivity. I say
mosh pits were made for this type of music, reminiscent of ‘New Rose’ in its anarchic presentation and the energy level set to overload. Let me be the first one to wish you Happy 40th birthday.
Someone start a pit, somewhere, anywhere, please….
