Napalm Death unleash new single/lyric video “Backlash Just Because”

UK grindcore legends Napalm Death have posted their new song “Backlash Just Because” in lyric video form — stream it below. The track appears on the band’s recently revealed full-length album, ‘Throes of Joy in the Jaws of Defeatism,’ which officially comes out on September 18, 2020 through Century Media Records (pre-order).

Vocalist Mark “Barney” Greenway said of the track:

This song in particular really spurred me on when I was writing lyrics for the album overall. It’s raucous and traditional, but also quirky and discordant and ultimately catchy-as-anything in the context of rampaging noise. Lyrically it was directed at the spiteful art of creating easy targets and fomenting paranoia and revulsion, which is something that I feel has become de rigueur in very recent times. I really let loose on the more sporadic vocals at the end of the song – it’s a real barkfest at that point. Lovely.

‘Throes of Joy in the Jaws of Defeatism’ was recorded with longtime producer Russ Russell, features artwork by Frode Sylthe, and marks the follow-up to 2015’s ‘Apex Predator – Easy Meat.’
