Description

Napalm Death’s fifth demo, Hatred Surge, from 1985 was an important recording for Napalm Death, being the last of their punk recordings and the first showing the bands transition into more extreme music. The production on this demo in my opinion is just amazing. It’s just so incredibly raw yet with every aspect of the band in perfect balance! There’s some background noise/static present but I find that it actually gives to the recording, giving it a very gloomy and notorius feel to it. The guitar sounds a bit like a chainsaw, reminds me of the japanese band Confuse. Even though heavily distorted and smutty you can make out every riff. The drums also sound decent even though the snare drum really is the most audible of the set. There’s not much to say about the bass guitar sounds, but theyre there and do what they’re supposed to do. Hatred Surge really shows the development of Napalm Death’s music from anarcho punk to old school crust and finally to grindcore. And for those of you who think the Hatred Surge demo was still too slow, too punk or those who found Scum too lightweight productionally, then turn the side on this vinyl. Here you have their sixth demo, From Enslavement To Obliteration, released back in 1986. Songs like Instinct Of Survival and Siege Of Power are in essence not that different from what can be heard on the Scum album but the sound and performance are very sloppy. Unclean is a hidden gem here. This demo even holds the promordial version of a song that would not see the light of day until the 1988 F.E.T.O. album (Private Death) Although this version has different lyrics and is thrice as long… Come to think about it, only the title and one riff sound alike. This vinyl features both these demos and therefor its an interesting release for a metal historian and fun to listen to as well.
