UK grindcore pioneers Napalm Death have released their new mini album last Friday on February 11th via Century Media Records and all their loyal fans across the globe are excited as this mini album is an extension of their previous highly acclaimed release Throes of Joy in the Jaws of Defeatism or if you prefer a 30 minutes sequel, containing bonus tracks from the 2020’s sessions featuring the mid-paced opener hardcore inspired “Narcissus” that ends up to a d-beat build up to blast beat colossus, the ambient “Resentment Always Simmers” with the soaring guitars blended with furious blasting grindcore, “By Proxy” which unveils (again) the band’s hardcore past, then comes the excellent cover to the industrial/electronic rock “People Pie” by Slab, return with another original song “Man Bites Dogged” that brings in mind Motörhead with its double bass, the thrash-like guitars and the power chords, the brilliant “Slaver Through a Repeat Performance” with its dark melodies and finally another cover on Bad Brains classic “Don’t Need It” and the epic experimental remix of electronic solo project of Napalm Death’s bassist Shane Embury’s band Dark Sky Burial entitled “Resentment is Always Seismic” an atmospheric reworking of the opening track. A worth exploring release that will feel the gap until the new album arrives, sooner or later in a few months…
Napalm Death frontman Mark “Barney” Greenway says: “You can certainly consider ‘Resentment Is Always…’ as an extension of — or partner recording to — the ‘Throes…’ album. We had long since wanted to put a mini-album out — in the spirit of the old days — and found we had enough quality tracks even after all the ‘Throes…’ bonus tracks to do that. Hopefully, this mini holds some nice twists in its own right for people, and certainly covering ‘People Pie’ by SLAB! made us really stretch ourselves, which feels great artistically. In the end, resentment is certainly seismic — it can trigger the complete erosion of humanity in many situations. That was the point that I really wanted to hammer home overall.”
The eight-song “Resentment Is Always Seismic – A Final Throw Of Throes” comes with a total playing time of 29 minutes and is available as a limited CD digipak, vinyl as well as in the digital album format via Century Media Records.
