I love the story about how they'd just play "You Suffer" like, 30 times in a row on stage just for a laugh. It really was written with the comedic idea of "let's write a one-second song" in mind. Hell, I was briefly in a grindcore band myself, and it inspired us to write our own "eight-second song".
It was because of that song and ANB that one of my old bands made ourself a rule that none of our songs would be over a minute long haha
That's pretty interesting. I tend to write overly long songs and can't even think about writing *several* sub-minute songs, much less only short stuff.
Funny enough, the current running Composition Jam that I run on the CR Discord is doing "Less than 1 minute songs" for our monthly theme so I'm finally getting around to restraining myself and seeing what I can make within that restriction.
@@CriticalReactions I find I usually have that difficulty too, most of the tracks for one of my other bands are 7 minutes or over, so I find adding that hard limit at the beginning helps me stay restrained haha
The lyrics to You Suffer are "You suffer, but why?"
Is that legit? All I heard was "du-uhh" 🤣

@@CriticalReactions It is legit
The lyrics are “You suffer, but why”, but the vocals are “Youwhy”
I think the shortness of the song makes the question "You suffer, but why?" more thought provoking. There is no drown out lyrical content, just the question to the listener asking what the cause of their suffering is.
There's a hidden message if u play "you suffer" in reverse.... it says "reffus uoy"
ND have actually performed "you suffer" live on a daytime tv show. The clip's easy to find.
They do it every gig too!
Fun Fact: None of the members from Scum are still with the band. Scum, from 1987, is seen as the first grindcore album, but since there were so many member changes, the musical direction has changed over time into more standard death metal, but they have gotten a bit more back into grindcore as of Smear Campaign, 2006 (As far as I am concerned). How The Years Condemn is from 2015.
Very interesting. Something similar happened with a band I'm a fan of -- the initial members weren't the ones who made the majority of the albums. However the band recently reunited and it was the original members doing so, which was kinda awkward for me to listen to. If you're curious, that band was Tsunami Bomb.
knowing "you suffer" i laughed when Bryan said that it would be 4-5 mins between two songs :D
Starting off this week reeeeeaaaaal short 😀
Oh man praying for Melt-Banana to show up this week.
I am SOOO with you my friend 🤘 🤘🤘🤘👌 I think he needs to do a Locust song 😂 for this theme as well 🤘
Yo 🤘 DEFINITELY CHECK OUT "The Locust" their songs without a doubt fit this week's theme 😂
Heck 🤷🏻♂️some of their entire albums clock in at 16 minutes 😂
I'd suggest a band called 🤷🏻♂️ A.C 🤔 I'll let someone else tell you what that stands for btw 🙄😂
However I do not think there is a single song that could be actually listed in in actually words for presentation 😂😂😂
Anyways 🤷🏻♂️ just my few two cents.. as always great analysis 👌
Napalm Death sure know how to put down a heavy groove. Always a pleasure to see them live.
Napalm Death is one of the godfathers of grindcore. Lee Dorrian was one of the founding members of ND and at the time inventing the fastest genre of metal and after that, when he left the band, he formed one of the first funeral doom bands Cathedral, who later on changed their style to more groovy, stoner-ish metal.
If you're interested to hear some more grind, I could recommend some of the most known names, like Rotten Sound (Kai Hahto from Wintersun / Swallow The Sun / Nightwish was playing in this.) Feastem, Agoraphobic Nosebleed, Nasum, Wormrot, Insect Warfare, Trap Them etc etc....
Lee Dorian is not a founding member! He joint in 1987, and left in 1989. Recorded two albums: Scum (side B) & FETO. Napalm was form in 1981 by Nick Bullen and Rat Milles.
@@tocadosratosrecords9032 ok, my bad. Mixed the timeline a bit, as Lee was in their first two albums, so.....
@Mika Vanonen No problema my friend.. from me, Lee Dorian line up was the best incarnation of Napalm. And i forgot to say, that, he recorded the Mentally Murder EP too. Cheers from Brazil.
Napalm Death are not my cup of tea, but I had to click your video to see how you'd made a 20 min video about You Suffer! Turns out youtube had chopped off the 2nd half of the title by the thumbnail, so I hadn't seen the video covers a 2nd song too. I seem to remember You Suffer held the record for the shortest song when I was at school, 30 years ago. Genres are not my thing, but I know they are considered grindcore, and I believe they invented it
I also would like to see a 20 minute video about a 3 second song 😅
Napalm Death was one of those bands I just never checked out for some reason. I have heard You Suffer though. How the Years Condemn is pretty sick. It almost sounds like Converge?
Converge cite Napalm Death as one of their main influences so that makes sense
🤣 Had to see this shortest metal song in history make it for the theme. Also, Napalm Death is about as classic as you can get within the heaviest of heavy - so they should be represented on the channel. Think you'd appreciate their former vocalist Lee Dorrian's later career with the doom band Cathedral who even went into quite exciting progressive territories.
This song might actually be shorter ruclips.net/video/G65N1si2eYU/видео.html
Edit: Actually nevermind, it has an extra second of silence at the beginning
@@The_JustJoshing Close enough 😁
Welcome to Grindcore genre territory...(Punk/Hardcore/Heavy Metal/early Death Metal mixed)
The bassist (Shane) is my cousin, he’s a great dude!
Glad you were able to put in some indepth analysis for "You Suffer'" :)
I tried. I honestly thought I was gonna just move on after that first listen. 😅
About yelling and its sustainably, check Barneys voice from the album Harmony Corruption to this day, to my ears it has changed a lot.
Great vid. Awesome x-force shirt as well.
Went through Napalm Death's discography years ago, though they've released a lot of material since then. They were one of the original and most influential grindcore bands, though I have a preference for their later material where they went more death metal. Grindcore was basically the first genre that sought to fuse hardcore punk and metal, nearly a decade before metalcore existed. Aesthetically it often sounds like a rawer, punkier version of death metal with screams replacing growls.
You Suffer is actually something of a joke/meme song from their grindcore years, and though it's kinda pointless in isolation it does "work" in the context of Scum, which is really an all-out sonic assault from beginning to end. I haven't heard the second song, which is from one of their recent albums, but it does sound fairly typical from their later material, much of which tried to combine the grittier, harsher elements of their early grindcore sound with death metal. Perhaps the most interesting thing there is that verse riff before the vocals come in, but other than I don't think there's much that's particularly memorable or outstanding.
FWIW, there's actually a sub-genre of metal called neoclassical metal, popularized by guitarists like Yngwie Malmsteen, Randy Rhoads, and Jason Becker, so it's not as if you can't write metal that's more classical in nature.
Haha I have come to love this band, via their perpetual touring. True pioneers of extreme music. Also very smart empathetic lyrics. On human rights, animal rights etc.
Napalm Death is hands down one of my all time favorite band and they are one of THE ORIGINATORS of Developing "GRIND CORE" before it was even called such... ✍️
BTW 👌🤷🏻♂️ You could not have nailed Barney's Vocals more on point 👌
He LITERALLY IS NOTORIOUS FOR BLOWING OUT THE MICROPHONE 🎤...
My friend has literally been the bands personal sound engineer for over 20 years👌 He directly told me how difficult it is to mix his vocals live 😂😂😂😂 The guy has one of the loudest yells and growls in the business 🤘
Barney's voice is as HUGE as the guy is 😂 Barney is one big guy btw 😂
BTW... This band as well was arguably the first band to invent the BLAST BEAT...
TRUE. STORY and others will back me up on this 🤘
That's some cool info. I might have to hear some earlier works from them and get a piece of that history, hearing some of the first blast beats.
Your over enthusiasm has made me ill.
Unless I've been misinformed, blast beats were first used by jazz drummers decades before ND even existed. Napalm Death did however coin the term "blast beat."
Others would claim Charlie Benante (drummer of Anthrax and S.O.D) was the first to utilize blast beat in a metal context. I don't know, and don't care, if it's important to be "the first".
@@michaelkarlsson5966 Totally agree 🧐It is basically a fast polka beat🙄☝️
The name Napalm Death has always repelled me. But this was actually pretty good.
I'm in that boat with ya. There are some metal bands who names alone keep me from checking out their music. I know it's usually just the shock value but my mind typically goes "if the band name, the most forward facing aspect of the group, is that vulgar/extreme/insensitive what are the lyrics and atmosphere going to be?" Doing this channel has opened my mind a bit regarding that (like Cattle Decapitation actually having pro-animal lyrics) but it's still my knee-jerk reaction when hearing these names. 😅
would've liked to see a reaction to Amoral off ND's new album
Grind. NAPALM DEATH is considered the progenitor of the subgenre. You need to listen to a lot more of them to get an accurate picture. They've been around since 1981
Bro you need to check out the live version of “angel of salvation” by galneryus, when you get a chance!
Dude you should check out Thornhill - Where We Go When We Die. Really cool band. They sound like TesseracT a bit especially the singer, he kinda sounds like Daniel Tompkins a bit
check out Napalm Death - Amoral
please show us some of your metal music you have written haha :P
My metal is.....terrible 😄 I've tried and it's something I gotta be in a particular mindset for being a lot of what makes metal awesome is the opposite of how I make music, which is more classically informed. But I have made a couple of things that I'm mostly happy with. This isn't a full song but is my attempt at writing some prog metal riffs with tons of time signature changes. ruclips.net/video/KxyMbyB6apA/видео.html
Dead Kennedys - Short songs
Hell yeah, and live !
Please Bryan, react to Brutal Truth and Carcass. Two of the biggest Grindcore bands.
YYYYYYYYRAI???
Napalm Death is for kids
Haha
As a "composer," if you aren't already well aware of Napalm Death's contribution to music, then I sincerely doubt your qualifications to evaluate them.
