Earache

Formed in Birmingham, UK in 1982, Napalm Death were one of the bands that defined the UK hardcore thrash/punk sound of the mid-late 1980s. The band has gone through countless line-ups and many former members have become significant figures in a variety of musical scenes.

The first stable line up consisted of Lee Dorrian (vocals), Bill Steer (guitar), Mick Harris (drums) and Shane Embury (bass). By late 1989, Dorrian left to form another band and focus on his label Rise Above. Dorrian was replaced by Barney Greenway, formerly from death metal band Benediction, and an American guitarist Jesse Pintado joined as well. Mitch Harris from Las Vegas' grindcore outfit Righteous Pigs later joined as second guitarist.

Mick Harris left the band in 1991 and has since been involved in a plethora of solo and joint projects/collaborations. He was replaced by Danny Herrera. Currently, Napalm Death consists of Barney Greenway, Mitch Harris, Shane Embury and Danny Herrera.

Earache is a record label founded in Nottingham, UK by Digby Pearson. With a dedication to extreme music, primarily but not exclusively extreme metal, Earache has become a leading force in the genre. Known for their influential roster of artists and commitment to pushing boundaries, Earache continues to be at the forefront of the metal scene.

Since its establishment, Earache has been instrumental in shaping the landscape of extreme music. With an impressive catalog spanning decades, the label has released groundbreaking albums from iconic bands such as Napalm Death, Carcass, and Morbid Angel. Their unwavering support for artists who push the limits of musical expression has earned them a reputation as one of the most respected labels in the industry.

With their distinctive sound and uncompromising vision, Earache remains committed to discovering and nurturing talent that pushes boundaries. As a result, they continue to release innovative and genre-defining music that resonates with fans worldwide. Whether you're a die-hard metalhead or simply appreciate music that challenges conventions, Earache offers an unparalleled selection of extreme music that will leave you craving more.

Given that they've been grinding since the early '80s and have more ex-members than most bands have songs, the Napalm Death discography can sometimes seem impenetrable to newcomers. This gigantic double-disc compilation is a great point of entry however, with the first disc spanning the entirety of the band's classic Earache years in an easily digestible package - there's even a handy family tree to help you keep track of where all those former members ended up. The second disc, meanwhile, is invaluable for both newcomers and die-hard fans alike, collecting all manner of out-takes, B-sides and live tracks, including a rare recording of the band teaming up with Godflesh to cover their classic 'Avalanche Master Song'  at a 1990 London gig.
