NAPALM DEATH Streaming "Call That An Option?" From Upcoming Coded Smears And More Uncommon Slurs Compilation

UK grindcore pioneers Napalm Death are set to release of a special 2CD, 2LP and Digital Download compilation, entitled Coded Smears And More Uncommon Slurs, on March 30th via Century Media Records. The track "Call That An Option?" is available for streaming below.

Bassist Shane Embury checked in to comment about the upcoming compilation release as follows: "We are very thrilled to be finally releasing this compilation of rarities and covers from the past 10 years. Napalm Death is a band that gives 100% when writing a song, so the songs included on this comp were saved originally for split EP's now sold out or vinyl editions of our albums or to become Japanese bonus tracks. When I was compiling the track-listing I was struck by how exciting again these tunes are to me. I had actually forgotten some of them, haha! We have written so many tracks and the years go by so quick that you forget just how fucking great these songs are! We will most certainly be blasting a few of these out live on our upcoming shows… Cheers and see you on the road!"

Coded Smears And More Uncommon Slurs will include a total of 31 songs in a playing time of over 90 minutes, compiling rarities and exclusive earworms spanning 2004-2016 from the whirling gene pool of noise that is Napalm Death. Below is the complete tracklisting with explanations for the source of each song.

The 2LP edition of Coded Smears And More Uncommon Slurs will not only contain a poster and an LP-booklet, but will - next to an unlimited black vinyl version - also be available in the following limited coloured vinyl runs: 100x copies white vinyl (CM Webshop Europe), 200x copies neon orange vinyl (CM USA), 200x copies silver vinyl (NBR) and 400x copies red vinyl (CM Distro).
