"THE CODE IS RED…LONG LIVE THE CODE"

Napalm Death return to wreak havoc on the music industry with The Code is Red…Long Live the Code. Barney's voice is in supreme condition; after years of gargling razor blades and broken glass, he sounds as if he is a rabid raccoon trapped in a burlap sack, screaming revenge and condemnation at the world. The burly guitarist Mitch Harris plays with a technical precision—leaving wannabes in the dust, as the primary inventor of this genre of music. The bassist, the imitable Shane Embury, thunders his four-string rumble machine mimicking the Norse God Thor. If there is a faster right foot, left foot combination than Danny Herrera's double bass pedal work, I would suggest that they look for a battery pack on his back, because he is inhuman! Thoughtfully, they have also included Jamie Hatebreed, Jello Biafra and Jeff Walker from Carcass to play with the entrails and body parts, making this an absolutely brutal record. —2005 Century Media Records [STEPHEN R. HART]
