Napalm Death are an English extreme metal band from Birmingham, formed in 1981. The band was formed in the village of Meriden (near Birmingham), England in May 1981[4] by Nicholas Bullen and Miles Ratledge.
Although other groups had previously played fast and aggressive music with a similar style, Napalm Death are credited with defining the grindcore genre through their blend of hardcore, crust punk and death metal musical structures, aggressive playing, short song lengths, fast tempos, and deep guttural vocals.
