NAPALM DEATH Announce More Touring Activity & New Album Update

UK Grindcore pioneers NAPALM DEATH never rest. Currently working on a new studio album to follow up 2015’s acclaimed “Apex Predator – Easy Meat” effort as well as 2018’s “Coded Smears And More Uncommon Slurs” compilation release, NAPALM DEATH are now announcing a next European touring run for the summer, a tour of Russia in September as well as a return to North America in October with Municipal Waste and label-mates Sick Of It All.

NAPALM DEATH’s frontman Mark “Barney” Greenway checked in with the following status update comment:

“The stinky van is calling again, and this summer looks to me like we’re reaching more parts of Europe than we have done in quite a few summers. Macedonia in July looks to be one that sticks out, as I recall that our last gig there was in the midst of the miserable Balkans war – it was that long ago. On another note, I know people are probably wondering about the next album. It is coming, we promise. Unforeseen circumstances and the kind of recurring touring schedule you see in front of your eyes have conspired to string it out quite a bit. It’s gonna be a multi-faceted rasper though, I think. Some nice ‘n’ quirky cover songs too. All will be revealed soon – just getting on with artwork and last couple of lyrics and all the usual window dressing. Alongside that, if it comes off, a nifty associated split release with a very-definitely-not-grindcore band is in the planning, which will neatly skip around convention and stereotype. nAnd why not. Cheers all.”

They are about to undertake a colossal European tour including three UK dates, see below:

26.07. Lulworth Castle (UK) – Camp Festival
08.08. Winchester (UK) – Boomtown Fair

14.09. Leicester (UK) – Uprising @ o2 Academy

NAPALM DEATH’s latest release, “Coded Smears And More Uncommon Slurs”, gathers a total of 31 songs in a playing time of over 90 minutes, including rarities and exclusive earworms spanning 2004-2016 from the whirling gene pool of noise that is NAPALM DEATH.
