Lawnmower Deth

Lawnmower Deth formed in the late 1980s around London, with Nigel Green on vocals, Flywheel on guitar, Sean Lewis on bass, and Nigel Batchelor on drums. Their early albums like 'Mowjob' and 'Death Metal Disco' came out in the early 90s, mixing thrash tempos with punk energy and Green's rough vocals. Songs like 'A Is For Asswipe' and 'Betty Ford's Clinic' had a deliberately silly, satirical edge that set them apart from more serious metal acts.

Their stage shows were known for being loud and chaotic, with a sense of humor that sometimes rubbed people the wrong way. The band's lineup shifted over time, with Green being the consistent member through various changes. They kept recording through the mid-90s with albums like 'Bi-Polar,' never quite fitting into metal's mainstream but building a small, loyal audience who liked their particular brand of noisy comedy.

Lawnmower Deth's music doesn't take itself too seriously, tracks like 'Anyone For Tinnies' and 'Cobwoman Of Deth Meets Mr. Smellymop' are basically jokes set to fast guitar riffs. They've been described as part thrash, part punk, and all fun, which sums up their appeal for fans who want something lighter and more absurd than typical metal.
