Brand-new (sort of) Houston hardcore supergroup Pasadena Napalm Division, featuring alumni of deadhorse, D.R.I. and Dethkultur BBQ, made a most excellent official debut before a mostly full Warehouse Live studio Saturday night. Rocks Off was impressed by the five-piece’s taut, seething songs, which reminded his ears of “Thieves”-era Ministry: overpowering, ear-blistering and surprisingly kinetic.
