Rock Saws present their new line of officially licensed Napalm Death puzzles, shipping in November

These 500 piece jigsaws celebrate two of the band's landmark achievements, their world-changing debut Scum, and then their all-time classic Utopia Banished.

"Few bands have impacted the history of extreme music the way Napalm Death has. That’s why we decided to give them the puzzle treatment. There are few better ways to dig into a band then to fully experience their iconic artwork. This is especially the case with a band like Napalm Death whose early period albums always had an insane amount of detail to really sink your teeth into."

Pre-order the puzzles here.

Napalm Death, will release their upcoming studio album, Throes Of Joy In The Jaws Of Defeatism, on September 18 via Century Media Records. Today, the group is launching a first single off the upcoming album. Check out “Backlash Just Because” in a lyric video by Cloud Music Typography below.

Vocalist Mark ‘Barney’ Greenway comments on the song: “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 rigeur 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, the highly anticipated follow-up to 2015’s Apex Predator - Easy Meat album, was again recorded with longtime producer Russ Russell and features artwork by Frode Sylthe.

From the pinnacle of confrontational instrumental extremity and steadfast lyrical humanity, Napalm Death’s new album warps musical landscapes all over again. Throes Of Joy In The Jaws Of Defeatism includes 12 songs seething with caustic evolution and unrelenting scope.
