NAPALM DEATH guitarist Mitch Harris has issued the following invitation:

"I'm selling my custom Moser Flying V guitar, handmade by Neal, designer of the B.C Rich Mocking Bird. Guitar is in pristine condition, and I used it on The Code Is Red, Long Live The Code. Anyone interested, please make an offer to my inbox (via Facebook ), I will ship anywhere in the world."

As previously reported, Napalm Death will release their 14th studio album (not counting the cover album Leaders Not Followers), on February 27th in Europe and on February 28th in North America, via the band's long-time partner Century Media Records. The new piece of brutality is named Utilitarian; the cover is pictured below:

Singer Mark “Barney” Greenway explains the album title and concept: "After some deliberation, we have decided on Utilitarian as the album title. We generally try to avoid generic titles, and this seemed to have a lot of scope to it. I won't explain the full meaning of Utilitarianism here because it's an ethical theory, and as ethical theories go, the depth and debate around it is quite heavy at times. It has a certain 'morality' aspect to it and that isn't something that drives me, so I also certainly have issues with it. So, rather than just nail that straight to the mast, of course we wanted to put our own spin on it by suggesting that those (i.e. the utilitarian in us, perhaps) who try to challenge everything, or fight against conventions, well, we go through periods of real self-doubt where we wonder if we're really making a difference. I suppose the conclusion is that, for the sake of all our freedoms, you should never stop, as even the feeling of resistance is at least a signal to those who would like to entirely control and dominate us – meaning everything from our instinctive behavior to our human entitlement to walk the earth unprovoked."
