Napalm Death Announces New Album
Grindcore trailblazers Napalm Death just announced their upcoming studio album Throes of Joy in the Jaws of Defeatism. It’s set to drop September 8th via Century Media Records. This is the follow up to their 2015 release Apex Predator – Easy Meat. Both album were recorded with long time producer Russ Russell and features artwork by Frode Sylthe.
Napalm Death vocalist Mark ‘Barney’ Greenway checked in with the following comment about the upcoming album and its theme:
“The phrase sticking in my mind when I started thinking about the lyrical direction for this album was ‘the other.’ You could recognise at the time that there was a rapidly growing fear and paranoia being generated about everybody, from migrating people to people with fluid sexuality and this was starting to manifest itself in very antagonistic reactions that you felt were almost verging on violence. Not everybody resorts to such reactions of course, but even the basic lack of understanding can become toxic over time. I’m not saying that this is an entirely new phenomenon, but it has been stoked in recent history by some particularly attack-minded people in more political circles and, as ever, I felt that it would be the natural antidote to endorse basic humanity and solidarity with all.”
