NAPALM DEATH - Noise For Music's Sake · DIGIPAK 2CD

2 CD compilation in three-panel digipak packaging.

Background information about 'Noise For Music's Sake'

This massive double-disc compilation serves as the ultimate anthology of Napalm Death's most ferocious and influential tracks, spanning their legendary career from the early days through their evolution as grindcore pioneers. "Noise For Music's Sake" brings together 54 tracks of pure sonic brutality, including classics like "You Suffer" (famously clocking in at just 6 seconds), "Scum", and "From Enslavement To Obliteration" alongside rare gems and alternate versions that showcase the band's relentless creative output. The collection features everything from their groundbreaking debut material to later period highlights, plus some killer live recordings including a collaboration with Godflesh on "Avalanche Master Song".

What makes this compilation truly special is its comprehensive scope - you get the essential Napalm Death experience in one devastating package. The second disc digs deeper into their catalog with tracks like "Rise Above", "Internal Animosity", and rare Pete Coleman original mixdowns of "Remain Nameless" and "Twist The Knife (Slowly)". There's even their blistering cover of Dead Kennedys'"Nazi Punks Fuck Off" and some brutal live cuts from legendary venues like The Mermaid in Birmingham. This isn't just a greatest hits collection - it's a masterclass in extreme music that captures why Napalm Death remains the undisputed kings of grindcore.
