The Earache Peel Sessions

supported by

Brian Parker I don’t care how many remasters SCUM gets, it’ll never burn the way this does!

Necessary for fans of extremity.

eosaion Ley la la la! Ley la la la! Favorite track: Walls.

Sun. Disappear Purely because of the heavy….

💖

whaleheart The energy created and captured here is insane, hard to describe... and the classic death and thrash bands of the time wasn't even close. To me it's the punk energy and the quite simple (in the best possible way) repetitive riffs and arrangements that make this record stand out. Favorite track: From Enslavement to Obliteration.

Tyson Kolp God fuck, this is what grindcore should always sound like. Blisteringly sonic fast drumming with disgusting vocals. Their best release. Favorite track: Lucid Fairytale.

about

UK radio DJ John Peel was responsible for inviting a succession of then-unknown, highly-extreme hardcore/punk/metal bands to lay down tracks to air on his national UK radio show in the late '80s. Causing intense debate at the time as members of the public were aurally assaulted by the most extreme music they had ever heard, John Peel continued his hands-on support to the fledgling scene for the next four years.

One of the most notorious bands to record Peel Sessions are the legendary Napalm Death, with their ferocious live versions still considered by many to be amongst their finest recordings. Indeed, drummer Mick Harris himself, in an interview for the 'Grind Madness at the BBC' compilation release noted, "I've always said this, and a lot of people agree, that the first Peel session was the most extreme recording that the band ever made. There was something about the space we recorded in. It was about capturing the essence and it did, it caught Napalm Death during the infancy of that lineup, and we just went in and played everything we knew."

never been a big death metal fan but this is actually super accessible for the genre, has fun concepts, and personally i'm always a fan of albums with short tracklists and huge runtimes (for individual songs) Great time, good jumping on point for newbies too. alienasu
