Napalm Death – Fear Emptiness Despair  – Cassette

Fear, Emptiness, Despair is the fifth studio album by the British extreme metal band Napalm Death, released in 1994. The album showcases the band’s signature blend of grindcore and death metal, delivering fast-paced, aggressive, and relentless tracks.

It is considered to be the first of the band’s “experimental” albums, utilizing groove metal-ish riffs, black metal-like chords and an industrial metal-like song structure.

The lyrics delve into themes of social and political issues, as well as personal struggles and existential themes. “Fear, Emptiness, Despair” is considered one of Napalm Death’s most influential and intense releases, solidifying their status as pioneers of extreme metal.

“Hung,” “Twist the Knife Slowly,” and “Plague Rages” are hands down some of Napalm Death’s best songs ever, and the remaining songs aren’t far short of the mark. These songs are as ferocious as anything the classic lineup of Napalm Death had recorded. They can stand alongside the likes of “Unchallenged Hate” and “Mentally Murdered,” yet they’re intricate and well developed in the manner of the band’s later, more elaborate songs like “Suffer the Children” and “The World Keeps Turning.”

Fear Emptiness Despair is the culmination of Napalm Death’s early-’90s meanderings. Everything comes together here, resulting in the album that Harmony Corruption (1990) and Utopia Banished (1992) had foreshadowed. Unrelenting grindcore as played by an experienced, technically advanced death metal collective with the guidance of a professional producer, Pete Coleman.

The professional production gives them a glorious, full-color sheen that early, lo-fi Napalm Death simply didn’t have. In the end, Fear Emptiness Despair is the culminate album fans had been waiting for, the one that again put Napalm Death atop the field of extreme metal. It’s not a perfect album, nor is it their be-all, end-all masterwork, but it’s certainly a career highlight and a striking listen.
