Napalm Death Sign New Deal With Century Media Records, Announce Album Re-Issues

---

UK grindcore pioneers Napalm Death have recently signed a new deal with Century Media Records.

“Very happy to let people know that we have put pen to paper and taken the plunge with Century Media again.” vocalist Mark ‘Barney’ Greenway commented. “Crucial to NAPALM DEATH was that we continued to retain artistic and creative control and also continue to have a determining voice in how our music is used – and, equally as importantly, isn’t used.”

“The people we have consistently worked with down the years at Century Media have always been extremely attuned to this, and we have never experienced anything like the heavy hand of suffocating commercial pressure that can be inherent in this kind of relationship and lead to crappy creative outcomes. Looking forward to sonically bending more minds with their help.”

Director at Century Media Records Europe, Philipp Schulte adds “NAPALM DEATH and Century Media Records have gone a long way together already, so it makes us very happy continuing as the band’s partner for the years ahead. The value of artistic freedom and creativity has always been of profound significance for NAPALM DEATH. It was the key to becoming and staying one of the most important bands – then and now. We take this very seriously. Thanks to the band for their trust. We are looking forward to this extended strong partnership.”

The deal comes alongside the announcement that the label will be re-issuing two of the group’s outstanding albums, 2009’s ‘Time Waits For No Slave’, and 2012’s ‘Utilitarian’.
