Napalm Death - Mentally Murdered

Review by Starri Knytes

Napalm Death is one of the most influential death metal bands in history, and their album Mentally Murdered is a true testament to their talent and skill. The album, released in 1989, is a short, sharp shock of brutality that leaves the listener reeling.

The album opens with the title track, a blistering assault of blast beats, guttural vocals, and grinding guitars that sets the tone for what's to come. From there, the band launches into a series of short, intense songs that rarely break the two-minute mark.

What's most impressive about Mentally Murdered is how Napalm Death manages to pack so much intensity and aggression into such short songs. Each one is a burst of energy that leaves the listener gasping for air. The band's musicianship is top-notch, with tight, precise playing that never loses its ferocity.

The album's lyrics are as brutal as its music, with themes of political corruption, social injustice, and the horrors of war. The band's political and social commentary is as relevant today as it was when the album was released over 30 years ago.

Absolutely great 12" EP from the legendary Napalm Death. Mentally Murdered definitely starts to showcase the metal leanings of the band but definitely maintains their punk origins as well. 6 great songs contained on this slab of vinyl highlighted by "Rise Above" and the phenomenal "Walls Of Confinement". Essential.

I love the artwork so much, I got a few t-shirts of it. One of their best releases easily; Lee Dorrian couldn't of sounded anymore terrifying.

I stopped listening to them after this. This is a masterpiece. I don't care for Barney at all.

Crazy crazy crap ? ?

Unparalleled atmosphere, riffs and sound. Wish the old analog raw sound makes a come back in the near future, productions and plugins of today make shitty sterile sound.

No Mental Effort is such a tough track. Peak ND. Remember reading an NME interview with them when FETO was causing a stir. The journo took the piss out of them a lot. Pretty sure that's what the lyrics are about. "So we're just in our teething stages as far as politics are concerned. That's fine coming from someone, for whom sensationalism be their only wisdom in words." Nice one Lee :)
