Editing Harmony Corruption (section)

==Music==
''Harmony Corruption'' has been characterized by its "sluggish rhythms and a generally sludgy sound." According to music journalist T Coles, the album "makes a clear effort to be structured, naturally bringing their style closer to the bands in the [[Florida death metal|Florida scene]]" and introduces a "tighter architecture to their berserk style." Described as a stylistic "handbrake turn" for the band, the album represents a shift in genre from [[grindcore]] to "standard [[death metal]]", featuring technical [[riffs]] and deep low vocals. The tracks have been called "full-fledged songs [...] not start-stop eruptions of noise" and "straightforward death metal songs, not grindcore blasts."<ref>{{Cite magazine |date=2018-01-09 |title=Death Metal new releases {{!}} EW.com |magazine=[[Entertainment Weekly]] |url=http://ew.com/article/1991/01/25/death-metal-new-releases/ |access-date=2025-01-18 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180109064013/http://ew.com/article/1991/01/25/death-metal-new-releases/ |archive-date=9 January 2018 }}</ref><ref>{{cite book |last1=Coles |first1=T |title=Death Metal |date=2022 |publisher=McFarland |pages=61 }}</ref><ref>{{Citation |title=Harmony Corruption - Napalm Death {{!}} Album {{!}} AllMusic |url=https://www.allmusic.com/album/harmony-corruption-mw0000310655 |access-date=2024-12-29}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |author1=Jonathan Horsley |date=2022-03-21 |title=The 30 heaviest guitar albums of all time |url=https://www.guitarworld.com/features/30-heaviest-guitar-albums-of-all-time |access-date=2025-02-18 |website=guitarworld}}</ref>
