Napalm Death julkaisee seuraavan albuminsa tammikuussa

Englantilaisen grindcoren pioneeri Napalm Death on asettanut seuraavan albuminsa nimeksi ”Apex Predator – Easy Meat”. Bändin tuleva albumi tullaan julkaisemaan Century Media Recordsin kautta tammikuun 27. päivä. Yhtyeen vokalisti Mark ”Barney” Greenway on kuvaillut albumin teemaa sekä sen nimeä seuraavasti:

“Sometimes you have to ponder long and hard for an album title, but following the Rana Plaza disaster of last year (collapse of a textile sweatshop building in Bangladesh), it spurred me on to try and craft an exposé of slave labour in the modern world (and the surrounding conditions propping it up).

Some in power like to declare that slavery is consigned to the history books. But if you look beneath the surface it is alive and well in many different forms – it just has a different face now, and exists in ways that may seem ethically ambiguous. Using the terminology of evolution particularly interests us, so in this case the ‘Apex Predator’ represents those who bring the slavery to bear (and capitalise from it), and the ‘Easy Meat’ is of therefore those who feel they have no option but to comply.

Fittingly, the music on ‘Apex Predator – Easy Meat‘ is punishing. We feel it’s more ambient, more expansive, more unsettlingly discordant than ever, and importantly, still extremely rampant at excessive speed. We hope in every respect – both musically and lyrically – this album will make your eyes burn with the harsh sonics and harsh visions of the dumping ground of globalisation.”
