    1. Vision Conquest


    [Lyrics Embury - Music Embury]

    Witness torment in its purest form
    Impossible definition of infinite pain

    Look into my eyes
    What do you think you see?
    What you see is not me
    But a dormant stage of what I'm expected to be

    Realities lifeline cuts through me
    Forever destined to a life of misery
    Realities lifeline cuts through me
    It manifests my vision conquest

    Mourn not the dead
    The living suffer
    Enter me
    Withess torment


    2. In The Truth Be Known


    [Lyrics Embury/Greenway - Music Embury]

    Your self-determined place of value
    Think before you act!
    Can you justifiably criticise
    A situations development

    Sometimes there's only a single path
    Which we have to walk
    You realise before you even speak
    That we're standing in a one-way street

    Why should we retreat? - To satisfy your gain?

    Think hard - tell me
    What's your actual thoughts?
    Could you even give your brain the time of day?
    Live your life and don't live mine

    I'm not defending things I've said or done
    But let he without sin
    Cast the first begrudging stone

    If the truth be known
    you desire to judge unchallenged
    and revel in the according attention


    3. Inner Incineration


    [Lyrics Embury - Music Pintado]

    Malformed spirit
    An infestation
    Supressing ways of communication

    Depression lingers
    Then the journey
    At wits end in a socialised hell

    Confusion in recognition
    Pessimistic thoughts invade
    Shared amounts to archieve a goal
    Roles reversed could summon change
    [Verse x 2]

    Expectations are enquired
    Exceptions should be required


    4. Malicious Intent


    Lyrics Embury - Music Embury

    Previous times you stuck by me
    Relations fine undeniably
    Mutual trust and honesty
    The essential recipe

    There's two sides to a coin
    Opinions numbered many
    Yet resolve came with ease
    Compromised and regret - free

    Then the vhange of expression
    A unit of friends and the chance to be free

    Your thoughts on these cast a jealous light
    A concensus of hate to accompany

    A vindictive acid taste
    Flows from your chalice

    Valued friendships tainted
    Martyr of malice

    Then the final straw
    Violent intimidation
    Your self acclaimed pacification
    Brushed aside for self-gratification

    Blatant ignorance - martyr of malice


    5. Unfit Earth


    [Lyrics Greenway - Music Harris, Mick]

    Looking from outside inwards
    A view to dumbfound the most outspoken minds

    Silent screams from an unfit Earth
    Battered and bruised with nowhere to hide

    Disasters man made and natural
    Gradually pushing to absolute imbalance
    On the scales of survival
    Soon to tip in favour of extinction

    An unrelenting dioxin cloud
    Propelled to dispel our oxygen
    Slowly seizing up our lungs
    And choking the ground we depend upon

    Silent screams from an unfit Earth
    Battered and bruised with nowhere to hide

    Transforming aquatic inhabitance
    Overcome by cocktails of sludge and chemicals
    Interfering with life on which so many rely
    Then dumping our shit to economise

    Wanton destruction
    Environment in regression
    All reverse into decline
    Kiss this unfit goodbye

    Silent screams from an unfit Earth
    A future of provocation with nowhere to go

    [Backing vocals by John Tardy (Obituary) & Glenn Benton (Deicide)]


    6. Circle Of Hypocrisy


    [Lyrics Greenway - Music Harris, Mick]

    Talk of unity - a far cry from the slander and rivalry
    Why should we encourage what in fact is a circle of hypocrisy

    Impulsive jealosy
    Where;s the so-called harmony?
    Internally untrusting
    Externally inspiring

    Assume your place above the rest
    The wisest of the less
    The knowledge you'll never possess
    Compensated for with single-mindedness

    Bored with life you turn to test
    Battleground for pettiness
    Pick at flies to justify
    Temper's raised - You wonder why?

    Why??

    Supposedly Accessible
    Come support our scene
    Just another target
    Harassed to the extreme


    7. The Chains That Bind Us


    [Lyrics Embury/Greenway - Music Harris, Mick]

    Forced exposure to create what is expected
    (To face) neglection is the price no-one wants to pay

    Line in line, stereotypes perpetrated
    Similarity of negativity

    The chains that bind us grow stronger

    Break away from the pack of mindless dogs
    Taste the scent, realise ambition

    Life - a stagnant lair in which to lie
    Taste the scent, realise ambition

    A label to some, habits preset
    Faction alienation, bias hold the key


    8. Mindsnare


    [Lyrics Greenway - Music Harris, Mitch]

    Reasoning poison in the vein
    Chasing the dragon who's frying your brain
    The shit that once gave you the high
    Now controls your escape from proverbial cloud nine
    Sad dependancy - Brainfried society

    Mindsnare

    All essence of being in turmoil
    Your white powder god brings life to the boil
    Forget all you family and friends
    Heroin becomes guardian till the end

    Jack-up

    Its powers of deception
    Seems to null all daily strain
    But just another fix
    Grip on reality fades out day by day


    9. Extremity Retained


    [Lyrics Greenway - Music Harris, Mick]

    You come to us and criticise
    Without prior inspection
    Judge us as a waste of time
    An incorrect perception

    Just a noise - your shallow view
    An opinion I find misconstrued
    There's probably more thought in what we do
    Than a large part of what appeals to you

    Why should we? - Why the need to justify?
    Only in others' presence are you motivated to jeer and jibe
    Everybody has the right to opinionise
    But to us your pettiness is used to occupy your tiny minds

    Extremity retained- never fall into your line


    10. Suffer The Children


    [Lyrics Greenway - Music Harris, Mick]

    Your unflappable conceptions
    Moralistic views
    Never open to criticism
    Your overpowering ruse

    Promises of sanctuary
    In eternal bliss
    With starry eyes and cash in hand
    Pledge all to the master plan

    Just face the truth or fund the farce

    At one with your god
    your sole intent
    Your treasured place assured
    For a substantial rent

    Global lunacy
    Death threats for supposed blasphemy
    No room for free thought
    All non believers pushed to the floor

    Aggressive tyrants
    Supposed saints for the cause
    Judgement through force
    Faith a fuel for pointless wars

    When all is done
    Who shall benefit? Who is the one?
    Not those who pass on
    But those dictators divine waving their deceitful wands.


    11. Hiding Behind


    [Lyrics Greenway - Music Harris, Mick]

    Search for purityi leads to insecurity
    Individuality an incapability

    Trapped within outside theories

    Ideals adopted, agreeable on basis
    Yet to question aspects a cardinal sin

    Should self expression mean social loss of face
    Labelled unaware because you beg to differ

    Hiding behind a shroud of belief
    Staunchly involved, highly confused

    Confidence in your firmly lodged thoughts
    Yet take a back seat while others speak for you

    Should every single thinking moment
    be saturated with political stance

    Striving for perfection
    Fear of group rejection
    Better to be at mental ease
    Than harbouring thoughts not mutually agreed

    The spoken mind and reasons why
    Dictation by others be denied without fail

  25. H.... ....

    Find it hilarious in the comments that some people are accusing Napalm Death of co-opting 'antifa beliefs'. Have you never read a lyric sleeve of ND? They've ALWAYS been against fascism. And rightly so. Fascists, Nazis/Neo-nazis and alt-right fuckers are scum.

  26. A.... P....

  56. M.... H....

    Got saved in 1996. But before then, there was this... My friend Matt and I used to cruise around and listen to this, even with girls who were down. Now Matt is gone. But, I still remember. RIP Matt. Long live my teenage memories... Yes, even before I became a Christian.... No one is outside of heaven until they're dead... And, in spite of my beliefs, I still listen now and then for memories. Thanks for being my friend Matt. I'll miss you more than you'll ever know! We had fantastic times in the early to mid 90's! LOVE YOU BROTHER! I know you used to love it when I CRANKED it to Malicious Intent, and Unfit Earth.... I WILL NEVER FORGET!

    M.... H....

    Oh that up coming double bass and tinny cymbal at 10:51 before the RAWWWWWWWWWWWWWRRRRRRR! Just kills me on Malicious Intent. So many memories. Love you and miss you Matt!

  61. W.... A....

    Garbage. Suck my dick commie faggots.

  62. M.... G....

    Shittiest ND album; terrible production, terrible songs, terrible art, terrible, just a year before they produced Mentally Murdered, the very definition of perfection, the bridge between grindcore and death metal, in that one release Napalm Death produced something that has never been beaten and will never be beaten, and then they produce this shit stain of muggy Americanised arse that barely raises its head above average... total grindcrap...

  63. V.... D....

    This album was the end of ND. They went from pioneering the Grindcore genre to becoming a literal Death Metal band with tinges of Grindcore. That's exactly what they became by Utopia Banished.

  64. a.... ....

    7:47 That fucking bass

  65. R.... Z....

    When I was 13 I listened to this tape on my walk to school every morning for a year.

    The secret to be an A+ student! :))

    @isohunt940623 I was the secret to being a problem gone horribly unchecked. But, thanks for the vote of confidence!

  66. B.... H....

    Great album. Still listening to it in 2019.

  67. M.... B....

    DAMN.... Masterpiece from Napalm Death Album... The Great from Indonesian Headbangers Old School Grindcore... Aaaarrrgghhtt....

  68. F.... J....

    the best album forever

  69. n.... o....

    328 people are incorrect at this juncture of time...

  70. x.... ....

    It's fun to read all these good comments, simply because when this album first came out it was at the same time very welcomed and very criticized, the latter due to the sound which was "too death metal" for many early fans. In fact, they decided to work with Scott Burns to have the most brootal sound available at the time, and Morrissound Studios in late 80's early '90s were THE COOLEST SHIT regarding death metal.
    The fact that something was not completely ok you coald have read it in the interviews: I clearly remember Shane and Mick talking about pressures to kick out the album asap, and this led to a last minute conceived album cover (in fact, it's one of their worst up to that point, in my opinion) and to an increasing tension that, together with the changing interests of Mick Harris, took him to quit the band. Most of this trivia you can read in the book "Choosing Death: The Improbable History of Death Metal & Grindcore".
    Btw, I bought on the same day Scum and this album (on the day of its release) and my life changed completely!

  71. C.... W....

    Incredibly awesome..I have always loved this album!! It totally stands out its own as a death metal classic..

  72. g.... ....

    definitely the best death metal album of the 1990 !!! for those who are not aware: NAPALM DEATH played grindcore from1986 till 1989. after that they ain´t playing grindcore. set your ears right fellas if you say otherwise.

  73. J.... a....

    The first song is my alarm clock, that's how I wake up in the morning, like a fucking beast: ROOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRR🤣👏😂👏😆👏⏰🎙🎶🎵🎼🎸🥁

  74. M.... S....

    This album is so fuckin powerful and badass. It was a major milestone in the evolutionary steps I took from Slayer to Cryogenic Defilement. Extreme metal is the most awesome, life changing, over-the-top, colossal, intense, unique, original, and amazing music ever invented. This album and Napalm Death's "Utopia Banished" album (which was the next album released after "Harmony Corruption") changed my life forever. Epic creations of brilliance and magnificence!

  75. r.... ....

    My favorite Napalm Death album

  76. A.... A....

    Fuck Joe ole tu

  83. A.... S....

    I don't suggest putting this on for 3rd date sex , I learnt that the hard way!!

  84. J.... M....

    I don't hear the grind in this....sounds full on death metal. I know they are a grindcore band, but I prefer this sound and song structure to Apex Predator. Not saying the album sucks, just not my cup of tea. However, that is what is great about Napalm; they have a bit for everyone to sink their teeth into. I Started listening to them in 1992 but did not get into them that much then. Now, at age 47 seven, I can not get enough of them. Thanks for the upload. I will be buying their whole catalog soon.

  85. M.... ....

    When I hear this I just hear Beavis and Butthead going, "YES ! kick ASS!"

  86. N.... E....

    Came here by Jim Carrey

  87. L.... M....

    This album is perfect

  88. M.... B....

    Much, much better than "Scum"...

  89. K.... H....

    now these cucks are antifa, use to be cool, use to be

    K.... H....

    Sound like you've never listened to Napalm Death - always been antifascist. You Maga-hat wearing neckbeards are dying out, and Agent Orange will get the boot any minute now. IMPEACH.
