Napalm - "1984-1986" CD 2008

Death Side rapes Confuse. Old So What murders new So What. Yeah, it's THAT fun! More "traditional" than "total fuckin' noisecore holocaust", I still think Napalm may have played an improperly heralded role in the evolution of Crasher Crust (rousing noisy discore). That's just my wizard hat opinion, but the band seems to exude similar speed and anthemic sonic violence to what's been heard in that sub-genre over the past several years. Guitars are "buzzy" and not a jet engine (getting raped or murdered), and there's a few more change ups and riff choices than the noisecore scene is known for, but I feel a lot of the elements are there. Even without the historicity, Napalm was a badass band. Oh yeah, great transfer and expected original production (semi-studios and tolerable tape hiss). Just as when I first upped this on D.N., you get three bonus tracks of (still) unidentified mystery noisecore bands, all from the isle and era.
