MUNICIPAL WASTE. The five-week trek also featured
EXHUMED as support, plus

DAYGLO ABORTIONS,
ATTITUDE ADJUSTMENT and
SPEEDWOLF on select dates. During the tour,
NAPALM DEATH sold t-shirts designed by artist
Sean Taggart (

AGNOSTIC FRONT).
NAPALM DEATH's latest album,
"Utilitarian", sold around 2,200 copies in the United States in its first week of release, according to
Nielsen SoundScan. The CD debuted at No. 14 on the Top New Artist Albums (Heatseekers) chart, which lists the best-selling albums by new and developing artists, defined as those who have never appeared in the Top 100 of The Billboard 200.
NAPALM DEATH's previous album, 2009's
"Time Waits For No Slave", opened with around 1,800 units to land at No. 19 on the Heatseekers chart.
"Utilitarian" was released on February 27 in Europe and February 28 in North America via the band's longtime partner,
Century Media Records. The cover artwork perfectly fits the album's theme and was created by the Danish artist
Frode Sylthe, who is also responsible for
THE HAUNTED's
"rEVOLVEr" artwork.
