NAPALM DEATH Bassist Seeking Artist For ABSOLUTE POWER Project

October 8, 2008

Bassist Shane Embury of the British grindcore pioneers NAPALM DEATH has issued the following update:

"I am in the studio mixing my heavy metal project called ABSOLUTE POWER right now, which is a lot of fun. We need to get a classic metal album cover painting in the vein of the early '80s metal bands so I thought I would send this blog out since the ABSOLUTE POWER page [on MySpace] doesn't have that many friends yet (sob, sob!). So any budding artists/painters out there who could contribute, please get in touch with me here or at the Shane NAPALM page or the ABSOLUTE POWER MySpace page."

Shane Embury was interviewed by "Angel Of Metal" at the Bloodstock Open Air 2008 festival, which was held August 15-17 at Catton Hall in Derbyshire, England. Watch the eight-minute chat below.

NAPALM DEATH recently finished recording its new album, "Time Waits For No Slave", with producer Russ Russell. Drums were tracked at Parlour Studios in Kettering and guitars, bass and vocals were done at Foel Studios in Wales. The band then returned to Parlour for the mixing sessions. Expect the new album to surface in early 2009 via Century Media Records.

Shane Embury recently spoke to Paul Travers of Suite101.com about the band's upcoming thirteenth full-length studio album. "We've got about seventeen songs together," Embury said. "I guess it's moving on again from the last album [2006's 'Smear Campaign']. It's still very fast and hopefully heavy. There's a couple of strange kind of moments in the music, with a little more experimentation and a little more discordance in the guitar perhaps. I think Barney's [Greenway] trying to move forward vocally in some areas like he did on tracks like 'Smear Campaign' and 'Persona Non Grata'."
