| | Napalm Death Scum - 20th Anniversary Edition CD Napalm Death Discography of CDs
This 20th anniversary set includes a CD of 28 tracks and a DVD with a 45 minute documentary film. Original member Mick Harris recalls the early days of the band, and revisits the pivotal places in the history of the Scum recording - Rich Bitch Studios, The Mermaid, and old rehearsal spaces. Additional interviews with Classic Rock journalist Malcolm Dome, Kerrang writer Dom Lawson, Earache founder Digby Pearson, and Turner Art prize 2006 nominee Mark Titchner are included, all of whom discuss the impact of the album on them and the music scene in general.
Legendary grindcore godfathers Napalm Death left a scorched path on the English countryside immediately upon the release of their debut album, SCUM. So volatile that they had two different lineups appearing on the same album (with Justin Broadrick and Nick Bullen leaving before recording the rest), Napalm Death took hardcore punk and shifted the focus to ungodly speed and brevity at the expense of everything else. Twenty-odd-second blitzes such as "The Kill" and "Deceiver" rush by like the contrail of a nuclear warhead, and the longest song, "Siege of Power," barely breaks three minutes. In fact, "You Suffer," at four seconds long, has to hold some kind of record. But blinding speed alone can't hold a listener's interest, and Napalm Death kept listeners in the seats with innovative, low-fi takes on Motörhead's black tar rumble and Discharge's bilious punk screeds. Surprising melodies bubble up through the blur and skitter of drums, chainsaw guitar, and croaked, unintelligible vocals. It's challenging stuff, and the uninitiated would not be scoffed at for calling SCUM "noise," but that was the point. Such a rebellion against traditional musical values was almost unheard-of when SCUM hit in 1987, and it still sounds positively corrosive today.
Napalm Death: Mick Harris (vocals, drums); Lee Dorrian (vocals); Bill Steer (guitar); Shane Embury (bass).
CMJ (p.48) - "SCUM remains the grindcore archetype: barked vocals, raunchy guitars, whirlwind drumming and eye-blinkingly fast songs." Kerrang (Magazine) (p.51) - "Taking punk to an extreme with hyperspeed blastbeats and jarring bleakness, this was a sound that demanded a reaction."

| | Obituary Slowly We Rot/Cause Of Death CDs (2003)
Scum - 20th Anniversary Edition CD music
$14.65 As part of its 1998 Obituary reissue campaign, Roadrunner released not only the albums themselves but also a pair of two-fers: Slowly We Rot/Cause of Death and The End Complete/World Demise. These two-fers feature not only the remastered sound of the reissues but also the same bonus tracks. Plus, they're quite a bargain relative to buying the albums individually. On the downside, you're stuck with typically unappealing two-fer artwork, and of course, you're stuck with two albums rather than one. This latter issue isn't such a big deal with these Obituary reissues because the partnered albums go together well. In the case of Slowly We Rot/Cause of Death, you get the band's first two albums, from 1989 and 1990, respectively. The former is a landmark, one of the first major death metal albums to surface and one of Obituary's best; the latter is ...
