I guess, at this point All Them Witches fit into the…
Napalm Death – Throes of Joy in the Jaws of Defeatism
Napalm Death’s penchant for noisiness is well documented. From their grinding, genre-creating debut LP, Scum, to the groove that has defined much of their post-millennium career, the band’s harnessing of auditory terrorism has seen many facets wrangled into borderline perfection.
