Napalm Death Announces New Album Release Date, North American Tour
Next year will be a big year for Grindcore legends Napalm Death, as the group have announced a new album and tour for January. Apex Predator – Easy Meat, will be the band’s 16th album, hitting stores on January 27, 2015. Of course, the album will feature the ripping bass lines of Shane Embury.
“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,” vocalist Mark “Barney” Greenway stated. “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.”
The band will be teaming up with Voivod for an expansive North American tour that kicks off January 27th in Miami, Florida. They’ll continue up the East Coast and into Canada before heading west and finally wrapping up in Houston, Texas.

I wonder whether or not these guys take their children to baseball games.
Doubt it. They are from England. The idea of them at a cricket match is quite amusing though.
