I also liked napalm death a lot in the 90s. That beeing said - I recently tried to hear them again and thought that I most probably liked them to annoy my parents (maybe I heared the wrong songs though).
I still like some metal stuff:
Sepultura - Roots
Dark Tranquillity - skydancer
Paradise Lost - Gothic/Icon
Just to name some …
I just looked them up to verify the albums and was quite surprised to see that they are still active.
And Awesome, I just saw that my fav metal band of all times (sepultura) is visiting germany in october.
Their albums are very different, also stylistically. And soundwise. “Words From The Exit Wounds” has an amazing yummie awesome sound, but I almost don’t like any of the songs @.@
Their latest album’s music is (partially) different again.
