17 - Napalm Death Suffer the Children 1990

Napalm Death are generally acknowledged as the group that invented the "Grindcore" genre, a fusion of thrash metal and hardcore punk. Napalm Death united and cemented the fusion of punk aggression, high velocity tempo, metallic production and deep guttural vocals. While writing "Harmony Corruption" they changed their style a little, from grindcore, to a mix of blast beats and some slower, more rhythmic parts, influenced by death metal. Drummer Mick Harris eventually left Napalm Death because of conflicts regarding their musical style. "Suffer the Children" is a classic of the band.
