Napalm Death celebrate reissue of "Scum" with new video

Posted by aubin on Wednesday, March 14, 2007 at 2:00 PM (EDT)

Grindcore inventors Napalm Death have posted an unusual video for their infamous sub-2-second song, "You Suffer." The video, along with a full length DVD documentary will accompany the upcoming reissue of their landmark album, Scum.

The album was originally released in 1987 and established the sound of grindcore as a blazing fast combination of thrash metal and hardcore punk. The album featured Justin Broadrick who later founded both Godflesh and Jesu, drummer Mick Harris who also played in Extreme Noise Terror and went on to form dub/industrial outfit Scorn. The song in question "You Suffer" is in the Guiness Book of World Records as the shortest ever track, clocking in at exactly 1.316 seconds,

Apparently, you miss the whole point of enjoying music, and having fun at the same time.
Go back to your shitty emo crap you fuckfaced turd, we don't give a shit about you or what you think.

Someone (March 14, 2007)

Actually I just don't enjoy angry homo music, but whatever tickles your pickle there chief.

Someone (March 14, 2007)

Yes, Napalm Death is the first thing you think of for homo music. God damn your a moron.

Someone (March 14, 2007)

no, not homo music, angry homo music...and you sound pretty angry

Someone (March 14, 2007)

you know who blows? Against Me.

Someone (March 14, 2007)

Someone (March 14, 2007)

Someone (March 14, 2007)

Definace Idaho ha ha this post wins best unintentional mistake of the day.

Someone (March 14, 2007)

I think it was probably intentional, making fun of the shitty band name. Probably too clever for you.

Someone (March 14, 2007)

Nah doubt it, stop making excuses, if it was a joke, it wasn't funny.

Someone (March 14, 2007)

duh, everybody knows its defiance iowa

Someone (March 14, 2007)

yeah, aside from spawning and influencing an entire generation of metal bands, they don't really have anything to celebrate

notfeelingcreative (March 14, 2007)

Great album, glad to see it's being reissued.

TheOneTrueBill (March 14, 2007)

I love this fucking band. It's probably the only case where there's no original members left and it's still amazing.

Someone (March 14, 2007)

amazing.

davepwnt (March 14, 2007)

TheOneTrueBill (March 14, 2007)

The guy in the trailer is Mick Harris, the drummer from the Scum and FETO era. Mitch joined after Bill Steer and Lee Dorrian quit.

Someone (March 14, 2007)

Mitch was later and played guitar. Mick was first, and they're not related.

Someone (March 14, 2007)

That's in the current lineup, this is the 1987-era lineup.

Someone (March 14, 2007)

This is pretty cool for people who have record players and want the DVD documentary..oh wait....

Someone (March 14, 2007)

why is everyone shitting on napalm death. buy harmony corruption and try not to kill someone...its really hard!

Someone (March 14, 2007)

sweet I used to go to sleep listening to this album ohh yeah sweet dreams

Someone (March 14, 2007)

dude, if you slam napalm death....you pretty fucked. i mean you can not like this stuff, but they are still top of the bill when it comes to this shit. fuck, in the 80's most real punks liked napalm for the lyrics and hints of punk/hardcore. but, this site is full of kids. way better then all that shit posted today.

Someone (March 14, 2007)

What about the Anti Procrastination song? That's a classic...

Remember kids, emo is shit!

branden (March 14, 2007)

great band.

Someone (March 14, 2007)

I am should be getting this CD soon. I have recently got in contact with Dig again after alomost 20 years glad to see this come out again and can't believe it's been 20 years!!! I was fortunate enough to catch Napalm Death in 87 in the U.K. just after Scum came out. I was on tour with Heresy, Heibel and Larm and they all played together in London. The year 87 was the birth of Stenchcore/Grindcore and I was lucky enough to see it start when I was in the U.K.

GlassPipeMurder (March 14, 2007)

this band would be listenable without the horrible vocals.

Someone (March 14, 2007)

this one time at band camp this kid was sent home for having a napalm death cd.

please disregard the whole "this one time at band camp..." this really is a true story.

Someone (March 14, 2007)

why did they send him home, exactly?

Someone (March 14, 2007)

He didn't even bring it to band camp. He just was talking to somebody about his Napalm Death CD and a counselor overheard and kicked him out.

Mr_Streetcore (March 14, 2007)

kind of pointless really

but i like napalm death can't wait for them to tour the south west

tenwestchaser (March 14, 2007)

at 1.316 seconds, can that even be considered a song? Can there be enough structure in such a short time to constitute it as such and not just noise? Sounds like noise to me. I still respect the band, regardless of this song.

it has music and lyrics, so yes it's a song.

Why Sure, let's put on some Rise Against and suck cock!

Someone (March 14, 2007)

calling grind a mixture of thrash and hardcore punk is simply sloppy classification (crossover thrash is what a mix of thrash and hardcore is). Grind is a genre that arose out of hardcore, although it was present in the metal band Carcass. It arose from itself, rather than being a mishmash of previously existing genres.
