NAPALM DEATH: First 'Apex Predator - Easy Meat' Track-By-Track Breakdown Video

February 25, 2015

British/American grindcore legends NAPALM DEATH released their 15th studio album, "Apex Predator - Easy Meat", on January 27 (one day earlier internationally) via Century Media Records. The CD's striking artwork, which can be seen below, was created by Danish designer Frode Sylthe (Friktion.com),who has previously worked on the band's "Utilitarian" album as well as with such other acts as AT THE GATES, TOTALT JÄVLA MÖRKER, THE HAUNTED and BURST.

The first "Apex Predator - Easy Meat" track-by-track breakdown video, featuring the band's lead singer, Mark "Barney" Greenway, explaining the lyrical themes of the songs on the album, can be seen below.

"Apex Predator - Easy Meat" track listing:

01. Apex Predator - Easy Meat
02. Smash A Single Digit
03. Metaphorically Screw You
04. How The Years Condemn
05. Stubborn Stains
06. Timeless Flogging
07. Dear Slum Landlord…
08. Cesspits
09. Bloodless Coup
10. Beyond The Pale
11. Stunt Your Growth
12. Hierarchies
13. One-Eyed
14. Adversarial / Copulating Snakes

Asked if he feels that NAPALM DEATH is bigger now than it ever has been, Greenway told Metal Mark of SkullsNBones.com: "It's not just a feeling. I mean, we're selling more records right now than we ever have done. And that's not just vinyl. For us, it's vinyl, CDs… everything is selling really, really well. And when you consider, we haven't done anything to gain a commercial advantage. In fact, we turn down stuff that could gain us a commercial advantage, because of our ethos. I think then that's kind of mindblowing. It just goes to prove that you stick to what you wanna do and not what some things that you might not feel comfortable with. You live and die by your own decisions."

A promotional video for the short and intense track "Smash A Single Digit" can be seen below. The clip was directed and produced by Michael Panduro, who has previously worked for bands like CEPHALIC CARNAGE, SAINT VITUS and JOB FOR A COWBOY.
