Birmingham-born grindcore pioneers Napalm Death have released a visualiser for their new track “Resentment Is Always Seismic (Dark Sky Burial Dirge)”, which is taken from their mini-album Resentment Is Always Seismic- a final throw of throes, released on the 11th of February via Century Media Records. You can view the video down below, and you can find the new record via all streaming services.
Echoing its namesake, this hellish, slow burning tune is most definitely a dirge, defined by moments of crushing, metallic heaviness, punctuated by spine-chilling silences that feel like an icy wind rushing up from a great vacuous pit. Vocalist Barney Greenway howls over the grinding instrumental: “Wield your resentment, resentment always simmers.”
Greenway said of the mini-album, according to a press release: “You can certainly consider “Resentment Is Always…” as an extension of – or partner recording to – the “Throes…” album. We had long since wanted to put a mini-album out – in the spirit of the old days – and found we had enough quality tracks even after all the “Throes…” bonus tracks to do that. Hopefully this mini holds some nice twists in its own right for people, and certainly covering “People Pie” by Slab! made us really stretch ourselves, which feels great artistically. In the end, resentment is certainly seismic – it can trigger the complete erosion of humanity in many situations. That was the point that I really wanted to hammer home overall.”
Resentment Is Always Seismic will be available on 12” vinyl and can be purchased here. The vinyl version will be issued in the following variations:
