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.

Originally released in 1992, this is a highly sought after fourth studio album from genre-leading giants... Napalm Death. After the almost pure Death Metal of 1990’s Harmony Corruption, Napalm Death changed quite suddenly and reintroduced the Grindcore elements in a very strong way for album number four. The closest comparison to Utopia Banished is actually Grind legends Terrorizer, Jesse Pintado clearly having more influence on the band than before. Another change was the replacement of early member Mick Harris with the more technical Danny Herrera, and the difference is clear; Harris always had an element of the chaotic to his drumming, whilst Herrera is unbelievably tight and controlled

CD / DVD - Bolstered by the addition of the Napalm Death - the DVD which features two complete live gigs (from June 1990 and November 1989) plus five promo videos. As an additional bonus the DVD features 2 tracks from the infamous BB TV 'arena' heavy metal special from 1989.
