One of the first crustcore bands to adapt enough death metal riffing to migrate into full-on grindcore, Napalm Death started with offtime slamming chaos and migrated to more listenable, stable compositions which reflected a worldview of total extreme humanist alienation. Their music has now spanned almost a dozen releases and two decades of recording, and, while the stabilization seems to have effected a formalism in the music, its fundamental influences remain the same, despite the uniformity creeping in on recent efforts.
