Formed in Meriden, West Midlands, England, in 1981, Napalm Death is credited as one of the first bands to lay the musical groundwork for Grindcore. It has consisted of vocalist Barney Greenway, bassist Shane Embury, guitarist Mitch Harris and drummer Danny Herrera since 1992’s Utopia Banished, although none of its original members have been in the group since 1986.
