Words from the Exit Wound is the first full Napalm Death album I ever heard and the first extreme metal album I ever bought (it was one of two ND albums at the CD store, neither of which I was familiar with). A lot of people give it **** for not doing anything new, but as far as I'm concerned it's just another perfect death metal album in a long line of perfect death metal albums.

What it lacks in innovation, it more than makes up for in intensity, sick riffs, monstrous grooves, bestial vocals, and brutality with a streetwise immediacy that never indulges in wank or pretension. A mediocre Napalm Death album still obliterates all comers.

I always thought "Faeries Wear Boots" more rock than metal, and I guess that's because it sounded less doomy by comparison than the other songs on Paranoid, it felt too playful, and the lyrics were too silly to be taken seriously, but for some reason I'm only just noticing just how chaotic and ****ing noisy it is. The repetitive riffs are ****ing loud as ****, the main riff ends in what sounds like a literal metallic clang, and the song goes through so many changes while always staying cohesive and strangely simple that it's hard to figure out what to even call it. I feel like a god damn ******* for not considering it not one of the best things Sabbath ever did and also one of the heaviest. Metal ****ing majesty right here.

Heaviest traditional metal album.

Dude, no way.

christ, this is just so death metal that it's downright comical. Retardedly badass and deep, and chocked full of more infectious grooves than a Suicidal Tendencies side project.

Another great modern band carrying on the USPM torch (Sanctuary, QR, etc.)

Only God fearing Christians could produce one of the most badass albums in metal history.

New Skáphe!

****! ****! **** **** ****! Why did he have to die on us? :(

Jesus ****ing Christ! I have literally just bought their album, Creation!!Not sixty seconds ago!
