Customer Reviews

Napalm Death are back - AGAIN!!!
You know whenever I see a band as old as Napalm Death still out there making killer extreme music, and basically giving all these "nu/new" bands a good lesson in pure violence, it just brings a big smile to my face. The best thing about Napalm Death is that they are like a good bottle of whine - They get better with age. "Order Of The Leech" being the newest Napalm Death album to blow out your speakers does not tend to fail. The one thing that I found truly splendid about this album is that there is not 1 filler track or boring song on it. Every song rages, grinds, thrashes and obliterates everything in it's infernal path. Basically this is a great continuation of their last (also which was a great comeback to the Metal scene) album "Enemy Of The Music Business", only "Order Of The Leech" is 10x more faster, more grinding, more extreme, and definately more hateful. Barney Greenway's vocals are at top-notch. Jesse Pintado and Mitch Harris's guitars still have that grinding chainsaw riffing. Shane Embury's bass tones are truly splendid balancing distortion with grade-A sound production. Danny Herrera's drumming is even more devestating than on ND's last album. He get's better with every new ND album, and on this particular album...he even conjur's up the old Mitch Harris blast-beat era of "From Enslavement To Obliteration". Again the sound production is top-notch. Musically, it has the new sound of "Enemy of The Music Business", but it's also a back-track to their glory Hardcore/Thrash/Death Metal days of "Harmony Corruption" and "Utopia Banished". I noticed that there's the familiar drum beat from Terrorizer's "Ripped To Shreds" in the song "Blows To The Body" - You can never have enough of Terrorizer!!! And for all you Celtic Frost fans, there's some reference to them in the lyrics for the song "Continuing War On Stupidity". Hands-down, by far the fastest and most extreme Napalm Death album in such a long time. can't wait to see the Napalm boys on tour in Early 2003 with Nile, Dark Tranquility, Strapping Young Lad, and The Berzerker.

Top Song Picks:

- The Icing On The Hate (Killer intro verse)
- Forced To Fear (Has some spooky-sounding air raids in the background)
- Lowest Common Denominator (Hehe...the Napalm boys are takin' the piss out of the Nu-Metal trend!)
- Continuing War On Stupidity

Like a Cannister of Nitro put into a Paint Mixing Machine...
Order of the Leech delivers the goods. Yes, Napalm is back and they are heavier than EVER!! If you thought Enemy of the Music Business, Words from the Exit Wound, or Diatribes was heavy than get ready for the most ear-shattering 35+ minutes of your life. Napalm Death once again bucks the trend of becoming softer with age, I honestly don't know where they can go from here in terms of sheer sonic brutality. Also, Order of the Leech has to be the fastest ND album to date, the time changes are mind-boggling and made at (literally) lightning speed. Barney Greenway's vocals embody the essence of evil and he truly shines on the standout tracks: The Icing on the Hate, Lowest Common Denominator, and Forewarned is Disarmed? Danny Herrera is nothing short of a machine on the drums. As a fellow drummer, I cannot even fathom playing at such high speeds with the precision he accomplishes. Order of the Leech will undoubtedly rank among Napalm Death's finest hours when all is said and done.

Glad they are still doing it
Its good to hear that the grindcore masters are still doing their thing. If you dont know, Napalm Death and Cannibal Corpse are the kings of the "cookie monster" bands. As much as i like Enemy of the Music Business, i think that this is my all time favorite. They are absolutley brutal on this ablum, and if you think, a few years back when they did the Diatribes recordings, people said they were about to "sell out and go soft". Well, if you stopped listening back then, come back into the fold, because they are back with a vengeance. Barney is a death metal legend in my opinion, and his voice brings terror into the hearts of many an Emo kid, and christian coalition memeber. So if you like brutal grindcore, go get this cd. these guys wont let you down.
