John Zorn - Napalm Death

Musical Group or Musician

John Zorn is an American composer and saxophonist known for avant-garde and experimental music. Napalm Death is an English band formed in 1981 and recognised as a pioneer of grindcore.

This split pairs Zorn's brief, experimental pieces (with contributors Bill Frisell, Wayne Horvitz, Fred Frith, Joey Baron and Yamatsuka Eye mentioned in the review) with Napalm Death's heavier, death-metal-influenced material; Mark "Barney" Greenway is cited as the vocalist for Napalm Death in the review. The review references Earache Records.

A short, intense split 7" pairing John Zorn's brief, abrasive avant-garde pieces with Napalm Death's crushing grindcore. The review praises Zorn's lineup (Frisell, Horvitz, Frith, Baron, Yamatsuka Eye) and Napalm Death's shift toward death-metal-influenced heaviness. Track names highlighted: "Osaka Bondage", "Malicious Intent", "Shang Kuan Ling-Feng". Overall admiration for the unclassifiable, boundary-pushing nature of the release.

For:Listeners of avant-garde jazz, experimental music, grindcore and extreme metal; fans of John Zorn and Napalm Death.

 "Osaka Bondage" (...WOW...) is the title of the minute that opens the commotion; John is accompanied by a team of top-notch musicians: Bill Frisell on guitar, Wayne Horvitz on keyboards, Fred Frith on bass, Joey Baron on drums, and Yamatsuka Eye on (killer) vocals.
