NAPALM DEATH announce new album “Throes of Joy in the Jaws of Defeatism”

July 8, 2020 Melinda (Carcassbomb)

Just a quick one before I go away for the weekend, as I know how many of you love Napalm Death. My relationship with them isn’t as tight as I’d like and this is another daily reminder that I need to take a deep dive into their work. I’ve heard a fair bit of their music and dig it, as well as the general message within, I just haven’t heard with much context or chronologically.
