Napalm Death’s "Coded Smears and More Uncommon Slurs" is more than just a compilation; it’s a tribute to the creative energy and relentless output of the grindcore pioneers. This collection of B-sides, rarities, and cover versions offers a comprehensive look into the band’s prolific creativity during their time at Century Media.

What immediately stands out is the consistent quality of the tracks. Even the deeply buried archive pieces sound fresh and vital. The brutal intensity that has become Napalm Death’s trademark is present in every second. The songs are short, punchy, and full of rage, but also with a certain playful lightness.

The curation of the tracks is thoughtful and offers an exciting journey through the various facets of Napalm Death’s sound. In addition to the typical grindcore anthems, there are also more experimental pieces that demonstrate the band’s versatility.

For die-hard fans, "Coded Smears" is a must-have, but newcomers can also find an excellent introduction to the world of Napalm Death here. This compilation is a celebration of extreme music and a testament to the longevity and relevance of Napalm Death.

Double MC, limited to 300 copies.
