Band biography
National Napalm Syndicate photo
National Napalm Syndicate was formed in 1986 / 1987. At first they started out playing songs from Metallica's "Kill Em All" album and also songs from the first Exodus album. They quickly 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 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 Uleåborg 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.

In 2002 the band reformed with a new line-up and in May they entered the Tonebox Studio in their new hometown Oulu. A record contract is sought after. In January 2004 they signed a new record deal with Poison Arrow Records.
