Napalm Death will release a mini album entitled, Resentment is Always Seismic – a final throw of Throes, February 11 via Century Media Records. It’s meant to be a partner recording to their 2020 record, Throes Of Joy In The Jaws Of Defeatism. For now, though, the band have dropped a new single, “Narcissus.”
Mark “Barney” Greenway states:
“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.
Greenway continues:
“Narcissus” just seemed to fit the bill as one of those rampaging tracks that we always seem to gravitate towards as an album opener. The low-slung concrete mixer bass line at the start really ushers it in nicely. It was written at a time when the ‘alt-right’ was parading itself around, so lyrically I like to think it exposes the vanity and personality cult of that whole thing.”
