Napalm Death are a highly influential grindcore/death metal band formed in the village of Meriden near Birmingham, England in 1981 by Nicholas Bullen and Miles Ratledge.

The group are generally acknowledged as the group that invented the "Grindcore" genre, a fusion of thrash metal and hardcore punk. Although Napalm Death were the first band to classify and define their music as "Grindcore" (the band used the word 'Grind' to connote a certain style of playing and approach to music), other groups had previously played similar music including Siege, Lärm, Heresy, NYC Mayhem, Repulsion, and Cryptic Slaughter. However, Napalm Death united and cemented the fusion of punk aggression, high velocity tempo, metallic production and deep guttural vocals that later became synonymous with the "Grindcore" genre.

There are no original members left in the band: indeed, the early history of the band is one of constant member rotation - by the second side of their debut album Scum, they did not contain any original members. Members of Napalm Death have moved on to form bands such as Carcass, Godflesh, Cathedral, Scorn, Jesu and Black Galaxy. Additionally, band members have formed numerous side projects, including Lull, Painkiller, Brujeria, Lock Up, Meathook Seed, Defecation, Teeth of Lions Rule the Divine, Venomous Concept.

Napalm Death are listed by Nielsen Soundscan as the seventh best-selling death metal band of all time.
