Napalm Death - Leaders Not Followers Pt. II - CASSETTE

While the predecessor „Leaders Not Followers“ from 1999 was released as a 6-song EP with a playing time of less than 20 minutes, the successor now comes with 19 songs and a playing time of a good 43 minutes. Long forgotten gems are paid tribute to with a deliberately raw and thus authentic sound. Discharge, Anti Cimex, Cryptic Slaughter, Wehrmacht, Siege, Sepultra, Master…

What sets „Leaders Not Followers Part 2“ apart is Napalm Death’s ability to put their own stamp on these songs. They take the raw energy and aggression of the original tracks and inject them with their signature grindcore style. The result is a collection of songs that are both familiar and fresh, showcasing the band’s ability to pay homage while still making the songs their own.

Overall, „Leaders Not Followers Part 2“ is a powerful and exhilarating tribute album that showcases Napalm Death’s ability to take classic songs and make them their own. It is a must-listen for fans of both Napalm Death and the bands they pay homage to. This album serves as a reminder of the band’s musical influences and their continued impact on the extreme music scene.

Napalm Death are great as always even when covering.
