THIS IS A RECORD STORE DAY 2026 EXCLUSIVE, LIMITED TO ONE PER PERSON.
For Napalm Death, Harmony Corruption was an act of both reconfiguration and redefinition. Line-up changes beckoned as the eighties became the nineties, with Mark ‘Barney’ Greenway installed as vocalist, and Jesse Pintado and Mitch Harris as guitarists. With their new personnel, they forged a lacerating transfiguration of their sound. Having already written their names in metal’s history books as pioneers of grindcore, their third album saw them bridge the gap between that and death metal, still bristling with a febrile sense of fury, but with greater maturity and control. Despite a divisive initial reaction, it remains a bold new frontier in their catalogue – and the album that gave metal the powder keg of a track that is ‘Suffer The Children’. Three and a half decades on, its game-changing ferocity is being honored with a Record Store Day reissue, pressed on Blue and Red Merge vinyl complete with a stunning new alt artwork.
