Napalm Death's Smear Campaign

PR reports: Napalm Death, UK's godfathers of Grindcore have finished recording "Smear Campaign", the highly anticipated follow-up to last year's "The Code Is Red…Long Live The Code". A preview on the album straight from the studio has just been posted online and can now be streamed at the full story link.

Furthermore, Napalm Death vocalist Barney Greenway reports in and gives his feedback on the recording sessions at Foel Studios together with producer Russ Russell and engineer Chris Fielding: It was very cool that Anneke from The Gathering offered to sing on the album. It's really funny, because we never would have thought about having guest vocals before the "The Code..." but every vocalist has worked very well with the song they have contributed to. Anneke´s style is clearly very different to that of for example Jello Biafra but what she does totally enhances the experience. It sounds pretty spooky.
