Napalm Death adalah sebuah band grindcore/death metal yang paling bertahan lama, mereka berasal dari Birmingham, Inggris. Mulanya band dibentuk di desa Meriden dekat Birmingham, Inggris pada tahun 1981^[4] oleh Nicholas Bullen dan Miles Ratledge, dengan nama band awal Civil Defence.

Walaupun grup-grup lain telah lebih dahulu memainkan musik cepat dan agresif, Napalm Death selalu di sebut-sebut sebagai definisi struktur musik genre grindcore melalui campuran post-punk, hardcore punk dan metal, bermain secara agresif, tempo yang cepat dan vokal yang dalam dan parau. Grup ini menggunakan istilah "Grind" untuk menjabarkan musik yang mereka mainkan dengan referensi ke band post-punk Swans dari Amerika.

Sekarang tidak ada lagi anggota asli dari Napalm Death yang tersisa. Awal sejarah dari band ini adalah satu dari perputaran anggota tetap: grup tidak lagi memilki anggota asli pada saat mereka melakukan rekaman kedua debut album Scum pada tahun 1987.

Napalm Death dimasukan ke dalam kategori sebagai band death metal terlaris ketujuh di Amerika oleh Nielsen Soundscan.^[3]
