Napalm Death bassist Shane Embury has been a major figure in grindcore for more than four decades, and his story is closely tied to the history of that scene. Life?… And Napalm Death takes the listener on a front seat, white-knuckle ride through the sights, sounds, places, and people who’ve been central to the music and the life. Told in his own, inimitable style, this is not just the life story of Shane, but also a history of Napalm Death and their part in the development of grindcore from the beginning to the present.

Such an interesting life and story. Liked that it was read by Shane himself and not an actor! If you love the band then you’ll love this!

Great for the Napalm Death fan

this is a very generic rock bio. You've heard all of this elsewhere, or at least something very similar, and it is further hamstrung by the fact that the reader brings a real sense of boredom to it all. I found it hard to keep listening as it just goes on and on in a very boring manner which is quite the achievement being as it's light on both general content and length. I've listened to books much longer than this and been riveted throughout. this is, apparently, abridged, too, which is a bit of a disgrace. I will probably refund this as I'll never listen to it again. a missed opportunity to chronicle the history of an interesting band from someone who was involved with it for a long time. Or, at least, a failure to make said history an interesting and compelling listen.
