Metalmania, the biggest indoor metal festival in Eastern Europe returns to Spodek Hall (Katowice, Poland) on 7th April 2018. The 24th edition of this iconic festival will be headlined by Emperor! Napalm Death, a British extreme metal band have just been added to the lineup. Polish bands Inverted Mind and Kult Mogił are confirmed to perform on the second stage.
Napalm Death – a British extreme metal band formed in Meriden, England, in 1981. They are credited as pioneers of the grindcore genre by incorporating elements of crust punk and death metal, using a noise-filled sound that uses heavily distorted, down-tuned guitars, grinding overdrive bass, high speed tempo, blast beats, and vocals which consist of incomprehensible growls, or high-pitched shrieks, extremely short songs, fast tempos, and sociopolitical lyrics. The band’s debut album “Scum” from 1987, proved substantially influential throughout the global metal community. According to the Guinness World Records, their song “You Suffer” is the shortest song in the world, at only 1.316 seconds long. Napalm Death have released fifteen studio albums. The band is currently working on their new studio album scheduled for release in 2018.
