Napalm Death

Formed in Birmingham, UK in 1982, by Nik Bullen. Napalm Death were originally one of the bands that defined the UK hardcore thrash/punk sound of the mid-late 1980s, along with bands such as Sore Throat. The band has gone through countless line-ups and many former have gone on to become significant figures in a variety of musical scenes.

Although their debut album "Scum" featured Justin Broadrick (who was also a member of Scorn), the first stable line up consisted of Lee Dorrian (vocals), Bill Steer (guitar), Mick Harris (drums) and Shane Embury (bass).

By late 1989, Lee Dorrian, whose vocals epitomized the early Napalm Death sound, had left to form another band (doom metal band Righteous Pigs ed as a second guitarist.

Mick Harris left the band in 1991 and has since been involved in a plethora of solo and t projects/collaborations as Quoit etc. He was replaced by Danny Herrera, an old friend of Jesse's from Los Angeles. This line-up lasted until 2004, when Jesse Pintado left the band. Currently the band consists of Barney Greenway, Mitch Harris, Shane Embury and Danny Herrera.
