Whilst Napalm Death is best known for virtually inventing grindcore, by 1990 they were definitely in the death metal camp. By 1994 there was change in the air again with Fear, Emptiness, Despair. The only problem is the change seemed uninspired and most likely commercially motivated, resulting in an unsatisfactory album.

Oh man! As much as I love the previous Napalm Death albums, this one is simply too much special!

Twist the Knife is a beautiful Death metal act.. and imagine that I would discover this band through this song in the Mortal Kombat soundtrack... Thank god for my dorky tastes. o/

And well.. this is the beginning of their hardcore''ish'' path.

Imo this is one of their heaviest sounding and best produced albums, the thundering drums are very impressive, same goes for the bass, but the riffs are pretty generic it has to be said, there isn't much groove to song structures, and the songwriting is pretty bland compared to some of their releases. Still this remains one of their best sounding albums, even if it's not one of their best imo.

I think slowing down was a brilliant move from Napalm Death. This album sounds super heavy and intense, but also fresh and new. The drumming here is brilliant, the variety of speed gave the drummer lot of room to improvise and show his amazing skills.
