Golden vinyl, remastered for vinyl, insert, limited to 200 copies. Napalm Death's Leaders Not Followers: Part 2 is a ferocious tribute to the band's roots and influences, released in 2004. This album is a follow-up to their 1999 EP Leaders Not Followers and features Napalm Death scouring the underground with this all-out max distortion covers treatment. It comprises 19 tracks that pay homage to punk, hardcore, and metal acts that shaped their sound and the extreme music landscape. The album showcases Napalm Death's versatility and deep respect for the genre's history, covering bands like Anti-Cimex, Discharge, Hellhammer, Kreator, and Sepultura. Each track is infused with Napalm Death's signature intensity, transforming the originals into relentless grindcore anthems. Songs like Hellnation and Troops of Doom highlight the band's ability to blend their brutal style with the essence of the classics they cover. Leaders Not Followers: Part 2 is more than a cover album; it's a celebration of the raw, unfiltered energy that defines extreme music. For fans of Napalm Death and the broader metal and punk communities, this album serves as both a nod to the past and a testament to the band's enduring influence and unyielding spirit.
