Napalm Death – Utopia Banished (1992)

April 27, 2020

Maybe they should have called it Mick Harris Banished, amirite??? LOL – Whilst it was indeed a sad moment in musical history when Harris and Napalm finally parted ways, it did give us the Scorn project full time, and that is a worthy exchange.

Utopia Banished builds on the muddy chaos of Harmony Corruption, led instead now by crazed sticksman Danny Herrera, who is still with Napalm to this day (fair play!). Instantly it is noticable as a more frenetic record, but is not entirely dissimilar to its predecessor. Many Napalm classics are contained within. Enjoy!
