NAPALM DEATH Premiere ‘Standardization’ Music Video
May 8th, 2018

Birmingham, England-based grindcore group Napalm Death have released a music video for the track ‘Standardization’. Created by Costin Chioreanu (Twilight 13 Media), the clip can be viewed below.

Vocalist Mark “Barney” Greenway said: “Videos I find one of the trickiest mediums to make vibrant and impactful. Costin, the producer though, had a lot of stuff from our Roadburn Festival presentation which seemed to fit the music quite nicely and reflect the song’s subject matter about the utter despair of a colourless life and desire of more conservative forces for a homogenous world according to gender, sexuality, human habits and, well, generally everything. No thanks!”

Napalm Death issued compilation album Coded Smears And More Uncommon Slurs in 2CD, 2LP and digital formats on March 30th, 2018 through Century Media Records.

The collection consists of 31 tracks with a playing time of over 90 minutes, compiling rarities and exclusive tracks from 2004 to 2016. Cover artwork duties fell to longtime visual partner Frode Sylthe.

Bassist Shane Embury commented: “We are very thrilled to be finally releasing this compilation of rarities and covers from the past 10 years.

“Napalm Death is a band that gives 100 percent when writing a song, so the songs included on this comp were saved originally for split EPs, now sold out, or vinyl editions of our albums or to become Japanese bonus tracks.

“When I was compiling the track listing, I was struck by how exciting again these tunes are to me. I had actually forgotten some of them, haha! We have written so many tracks and the years go by so quick that you forget just how fucking great these songs are! We will most certainly be blasting a few of these out live on our upcoming shows… Cheers and see you on the road!”
