Episode 82: Napalm Death does not cover Motörhead

There was a slight miscommunication between Napalm Death and The A.V. Club, likely due to the translation from American English to The King’s English. We believed the band was on the hook to cover a song by the mighty Motörhead, a song we placed on the list as a tribute to the late Ian Fraser Kilmister, known to the world as “Lemmy,” but that got lost somewhere along the way. Instead, the band tore through a version of “How The Years Condemn,” a song from the band’s most recent album, Apex Predator—Easy Meat. Vocalist Mark “Barney” Greenway went as far as donning his Los Crudos T-shirt as a tribute to the Chicago hardcore legends, while treating our office to a midday grindcore break.
