Napalm Death - 09 - Death by Manipulation

Here is the ninth track of the From Enslavement to Obliteration demo by the legendary UK based grindcore band Napalm Death. The song is called Death by Manipulation. This demos was released in 1986, a year before the bands debut album Scum would be released. The band would go on to use this demos title for their second album in 1988. Napalm Death started in 1081 as a hardcore punk band, and, through a long series of demos between 1982 and 1987, the bands music would get heavier and more extreme over time until it warped into the mix of death metal and hardcore punk that we now know as grindcore. Scum is considered by many to be the first grindcore release, though others debate that it was Horrified by Repulsion. That was recorded before Scum and released as an album after it.

Lyrics:

A scene of human desperation
The earth is their possession
Enforcing human starvation
To protect their position
Death by their manipulation
So much unseen human destruction
Creating human isolation
Too much human exploitation
