Cathedral, Entombed and Napalm Death all enjoyed the most commercially successful albums of their careers. "Around '95 onwards I personally became a massive fan of electronic music," Pearson explains. "It struck me as a really radical, interesting form of music. At the time I preferred programmers to guitarists and drummers. I think a hell of a lot of art goes into programming and it's underestimated in the rock fraternity. A lot of our bands have those programmed beats with guitars sorta vibe; it's an interesting sort of vision really. As far as Earache's identity, I think we went through a phase where a lot of our releases were coming out in that style. It did alienate a hell of a lot of metal kids who were the bread and butter and the whole staple of what Earache's about."
