Napalm Death is alive legend of extreme metal music. The history of this band goes back to the 1980s and is considered a precursor of grindcore. The group debuted in 1987 thanks the album “Scum”, and the song “You Suffer” was entered into the Guinness Book of Records as the shortest song in the world (the composition lasts 1.316 seconds). In 2015, the fifteenth album named “Apex Predator – Easy Meat” was released. Another one is announced for the next year, over which the team works with their longtime producer Russell Russell.

Inverted Mind has been on the music scene since 2011. Over the years, the group’s music has evolved until the band finally developed their own style, which is a fusion of sludge, stoner, doom and metal post. The sounds produced by the three band members are deeply rooted in the darkest depths of the soul. The band’s music is a must-have for fans, e.g.: Crowbar, Eyehategod or Obscure Sphinx.
