Bootlegged in Japan
Bootlegged in Japan is a live album from Napalm Death, the British grindcore and death metal band. It came out on 22 June 1998 through Earache Records, the label that had been home to the group since their early days.
It arrived in the middle of a busy stretch for the band. Inside the Torn Apart had appeared in 1997, and Words From the Exit Wound followed in the same year as this release. If you want to hear their extreme sound captured on stage rather than in the studio, this is the record to reach for.
