* {{Anvilicious}}: They write very straight-to-the-point lyrics, probably the most greenhouse lyrics in all of metal, on par with [[Music/GojiraBand that one French tech-death band]].
* BrokenBase: Mainly the 'alternative' albums, like ''Diatribes'' and ''Inside the Torn Apart''.
%%* SugarWiki/FunnyMoments: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ybGOT4d2Hs8 "You Suffer".]]
* HilariousInHindsight: When Creator/JimCarrey professed [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T9rdQdz7WRA his love for the band]] on The Arsenio Hall Show, he claimed "someday, this guy's gonna wanna slow down and do some duets." Then in 2010, Barney provided his grunting vocals to the Music/{{Volbeat}} song "Evelyn", which is indeed a duet with clean-voiced Michael Poulsen. In addition, Lee Dorrian later formed Music/{{Cathedral|Band}}, which also slowed down and occasionally featured duets.
* SignatureSong: "You Suffer (But Why)," if only because it's The Guinness World Record holder [[MinisculeRocking for shortest song]]. "Scum" is probably their most well known song and is probably what most fans of the band think when they hear someone mention Napalm Death or even grindcore in general.
* SpiritualSuccessor: Shane's side band Lock Up, to the point that the lineup for their first two albums literally ''was'' Napalm Death, just with a different drummer and vocalist.
* TheyChangedItNowItSucks: While the Napalm Death fanbase is divided into people who prefer their more hardcore leaning grind albums, people who prefer their more metal albums, and people who like both eras, neither of them had a positive reaction to their more {{Industrial}}/GrooveMetal-tinged late 90s albums starting with ''Diatribes''.
