NAPALM DEATH’s Shane Embury comments as follows: “It goes without saying that we are really looking forward to the upcoming “Deathcrusher Tour”. The Musical history and relevance between all 4 of the bands truly speaks for itself I think – It’s heartwarming to be a part of it. All of the bands involved in this tour have been great friends for what I guess is a lifetime now – we have played together on many separate occasions before BUT this tour! This tour is something very special, I mean come on…VOIVOD, NAPALM DEATH, OBITUARY & CARCASS are you kidding? All on the same bill night after night?? This is the A to Z of heavy, grinding, progressive, crushing riffs in one insane package!
I expect to see nothing less than savage mosh pit mayhem every evening….this is one tour nobody should miss…”
On other news, NAPALM DEATH have just made an unreleased track from the sessions of their latest album “Apex Predator – Easy Meat” available as charity download for Nepal. Look for the track “Earthwire” and further information here: http://napalmdeath.org/scum/store-download-page/
Here are some words by NAPALM DEATH about this Project: “Having been fortunate to be invited to Kathmandu just over three years ago to play a gig, I remember fondly the unique, enriching experience that it gave us as a band. When you’re bouncing from continent to continent in short spaces of time, it might be very easy to become complacent to where you process all those continents through the same perceptive filter. I think you owe it those who receive you – and to yourself – to have a deeper sense of understanding. Nepal, therefore, seemed not only a place of striking beauty, but also a tougher place for things that you would normally take for granted e.g. a stage to play on and a place for a concert festival. A wider viewing revealed such grim inequalities – in comparison to the wider world – as people living in holes at the side of the road, which then actually became one of the reference points for our current album, ‘Apex Predator – Easy Meat’.
When the earthquake struck on the 25th April 2015, I recalled the general frailty of the buildings in Kathmandu (something which you see on several continents where deprivation makes everyday habitation a very hazardous experience) and could already imagine the consequences – I didn’t necessarily need to view the inevitable volume of TV / internet footage. Shane, our bass player, was already thinking of what Napalm Death could do to alleviate things in our own small way and knowing that Bill Gould from Faith No More had been involved in the region, Shane was kindly directed by him to the DZI. We like the fact that the community has an overriding hand in deciding how to best use resources, and the spirit of independence that the DZI encourages is something that runs in parallel with the ethos of Napalm Death. We therefore present an exclusive track from the aforementioned album session written by our guitarist, Mitch Harris – to raise funds for the work and resources required through the DZI. The lyrics can be interpreted in several different ways, but to me they signify acknowledging and embracing humanity beyond the relentless march of technology. Perhaps somewhat apt here.
Please give what you can to aid the rebuilding of people’s lives – and bathe in the sonic extremity.”
With thanks and in solidarity, Mark “Barney” Greenway for and on behalf of Napalm Death
