Napalm Death have released a lyric video for Backlash Just Because, the first single from their forthcoming album Throes of Joy in the Jaws of Defeatism.
“This song in particular really spurred me on when I was writing lyrics for the album overall,” explains vocalist Mark ‘Barney’ Greenway. “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 rigueur 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 is due for release on 18th September 2020 via Century Media Records, available to pre-order in various formats, including limited edition vinyl variants, HERE.
