Punishment in Capitals
Punishment in Capitals is a live album from British band Napalm Death, issued in 2002 by Peaceville and released as both a CD and a DVD. It was recorded at the London ULU on 12 April 2002, at a benefit gig for the animal rights organisation Stop Huntingdon Animal Cruelty.
It arrived in the same year as the studio album Order of the Leech, and it holds a particular place in the band's story as the final release to feature Jesse Pintado. For anyone who wants to hear the group's death metal side in a room rather than a studio, with the guitarist's last recorded appearance preserved on film as well as disc, it is a worthwhile document of a night played for a cause.
