Installation artist and recent Turner Prize nominee Mark Titchner says that Napalm Death have been a substantial influence on his work, saying that he thinks there is a clear resemblance between the band's sound and what he depicts in his work.
Napalm Death founder Nicholas Bullen said in an interview about Titchner: "I think in the work that I've made in the past in terms of music, we've always tried to be very dense, to distil, to compress sound into sudden bursts and forward movements, to try and move towards what we would perceive as the future, and I think Mark does that in the sense of, his work, whilst never stating a utopian vision, always hints at that and hints at a sense of joy of being alive".
A twentieth anniversary edition of Napalm Death's debut 'Scum' is to be released early next year - press info from Earache IH.
