THE REVIEW
"You Suffer But Why" screams Nicholas Bullen with his cavernous growl. Bass, guitar, and drums accompany him; all lasting for a mere 1.5 seconds (you read that right: one point five seconds).
Track taken from the first side of "Scum," the full-length debut of Napalm Death; a cornerstone and still a pillar of Grindcore.
Song (song?!?) that the English band always performs at every concert: a photonic and ultra-compressed slap in the face. Putrid Grindcore-Punk.
Justin Broadrick, one of the authors of the track and creator of the GODFLESH sound, recounts that at the band's early concerts, they managed to play "You Suffer" thirty times in the same evening, in front of no more than thirty people.
As guests on John Peel's show, for the infamous "Peel Session," they recorded a slower version wisely titled "You Suffer Part 2."
No one like them or as much as them.
Ad Maiora.
