about
National Napalm Syndicate was formed in 1986 / 1987.The band were one of the first speed/thrash acts to emerge from Finland. They started out playing songs from Metallica's "Kill Em All" album and the first Exodus album. In the early days Finnish bands like KANSANTURVAMUSIIKKIKOMISSIO and Faff-bey were a big inspiration for the band. Soon they started writing material of their own. The original moniker for the band was National Napalm Storm but it was changed soon after. A few line-up changes and a couple of demos later they found themselves signing a major label deal with EMI. After the release of their debut album in 1989 they recorded another demo and also a split album together with Sacred Crucifix which was never released since the singer lost / got drunk with the money for the album. The band was located in a very religious small town called Pudasjärvi outside Oulu in Finland. Since they were the only long haired guys in town they were always in deep shit because of that. The band hung out a lot with A.R.G. from the next town Kuusamo. Quite a lot of live shows were done with A.R.G. and Stone mostly. The band split up in 1991 since the members were fighting all the time and also moved to different cities. The former bass player Juha Vuorma became a famous album cover artist and did work for bands like A.R.G., Autopsy, Whiplash and Unholy. National Napalm Syndicate reunited in 2002, when the original guitar duo Markku Jokikokko and Jukka Kyrö started jam and change some
