Napalm Death were formed in the village of Meriden near Coventry in the United Kingdom, in May 1981 by Nic Bullen and Miles Ratledge while the duo were still in their early teenage years. The duo had been playing in amateur bands since 1980 as an extension of their fanzine writing and went through a number of names before choosing Napalm Death in mid 1981, The band were initially inspired by the early wave of punk bands, particularly the anarcho punk movement and associated groups such as Crass. The first stable line up of the group consisted of Nicholas Bullen on bass and lead vocals, Simon Oppenheimer on guitars and Miles Ratledge on drums, and lasted from December 1981 to January 1982, Graham Robertson joined on bass in January 1982. Simon Oppenheimer left the group in August 1982 and was replaced by Darryl Fedeski who left the group in October 1982 at this point, Graham Robertson began to play guitar and Finbarr Quinn joined on bass and backing vocals, The group played concerts throughout 1982 and 1983, and made four demo recordings in 1982 and 1983 one of which contributed their first released recording to the Bullshit Detector Volume 3 compilation released by Crass Records in 1984. The band entered a period of hiatus from the end of 1983 onwards, playing only one concert in 1984 with additional vocalist Marian Williams. During this period, Nic Bullen met Justin Broadrick, a guitarist from Birmingham with whom he shared an interest in the music of bands such as Killing Joke, Throbbing Gristle, Crass, Amebix, Swans and the developing power electronics scene, Bullen joined Broadrick's Final project for a period in 1983. In July 1985 Napalm Death briefly reformed in order to appear at a concert at the Mermaid in Birmingham which was also notable as the last concert by Final, The group consisted of a four piece line up of Miles Ratledge on drums, Bullen performing vocals, bass and guitar, Graham Robertson on guitar and bass, and Damien Errington on guitar. After this concert Miles Ratledge and Bullen asked Broadrick to join Napalm Death as guitarist, with Bullen as vocalist and bass player, The band began to develop a musical style which blended elements of post punk, heavy hardcore punk in the vein of Discharge and thrash metal. The group played their first concert as a trio on 31 August 1985, and began to play regularly in the Birmingham area with a wide range of musicians including Icons of Filth, Concrete Sox, The Varukers, Indecent Assault, Decadence Within and The Groundhogs.

As with another commenter, Harmony Corruption is an all time favorite of mine. It has grooves, riffs, and seething anger. Without a groove and a memorable riff, it’s often hard to identify with a song, be it Madonna’s “Like A Prayer”, Lady Gaga’s “Just Dance”, Sabbath’s “Supernaut”, or Carcass’ “Keep on Rotting in a Free World”. All of my favorite songs have one thing a few things in common. They are heavy as fuck, have a beautiful melody, and proclaim an ethical duality between unconditional love and undying hatred. Yep. I said it. From Duran Duran’s “Is There Something I Should Know”, to bad brains’ “Soul Craft”, to Carpenters’ “On Top of the World” to “Suffer the Children”, there is incredible weight and drive to these “works of heart, bleeding dark, black magniloquent art”. Thank you Carcass, for creating some of the greatest music ever known to mankind. And thank you Napalm, for being great, but not so great that Bill Steer wouldn’t rejoin Carcass, and that Lee Dorian would create the greatest down tempo metal of all time, save Sabbath, the almighty, Cathedral. Metal. Live it. Feel it. Shit it. Eat it. Without it, I would perish.

Yes Lee was from Coventry, but was only with Napalm for a short time before forming the almighty Cathedral.
