Napalm

Profile:	"Napalm" was founded in June 1994 by Michael Zosel, active until 2003. It was self-distributed. "Napalm" was a 12-inch-label for an uncompromising combination of Industrial elements with Hardcore Techno. What you hear on a Napalm-record is rather noise than sound and most of the track-elements used are indeed distorted sound-effects. Due to the fact that only 4 different persons (of the Shockwave-family) are responsible for the whole Napalm-output the label has a very linear appearance. "Napalm" was "-only", but the sub-label "Agent Orange" was open for demos in Napalm-style.

Excellent label, thank god that most of the vinyls are repressed around 2003/2004, probably all of them. That was the change to buy them for a normal price. Quality terror / darkcore / industrial. Distributed by Soundbase Music

Even 20-25 years after its zenith, the sounds presented on this label continue to stand out in the history of music in general, and of hardcore in particular. Whenever these tracks where featured in a DJ's mix, or on a compilation CD, the tracks coming from the NAPALM collective provided some of the highlights in the mix or compilation. This is hardcore, of various tempos, from slower to faster, with lots of emphasis on the experimental side of sounds. Some tracks even feature heavy metal sampling! This is what constitutes to me the best example of what Hardcore ought to be about: experimenting, exploring the darker side of music! To find beauty and art in the chaotic abyss of darkness!
This is a type of hardcore for those who seek the opposite of commercial happy melodic hardcore!

You don't want to start your evening with Napalm, but if you get there by the end, you know you've had a party.
