UK grindcore pioneers Napalm Death have released their new mini-album ‘Resentment is Always Seismic – a final throw of Throes’ via Century Media Records. To celebrate the release of the mini-album, the band have released a visualiser video created by Chariot Of Black Moth for the record’s experimental final track ‘Resentment is Always Seismic (Dark Sky Burial Dirge)’.
Disturbing in all the right ways with the pounding of drums and the rattle of heavy bass all mixed up with mournful strings that come from some epic fantasy horror film. All together they create this masterpiece of grunged up grindcore magic.

‘Resentment is Always Seismic – a final throw of Throes’ is a partner recording to Napalm Death’s latest, much acclaimed ‘Throes Of Joy In The Jaws Of Defeatism’ album from 2020 (read our review here), concluding matters through vital, tumultuous grindcore and shockwave ambience.
Napalm Death frontman Mark “Barney” Greenway states
“You can certainly consider “Resentment Is Always…” as an extension of – or partner recording to – the “Throes…” album. We had long since wanted to put a mini-album out – in the spirit of the old days – and found we had enough quality tracks even after all the “Throes…” bonus tracks to do that. Hopefully this mini holds some nice twists in its own right for people, and certainly covering “People Pie” by Slab! made us really stretch ourselves, which feels great artistically. In the end, resentment is certainly seismic – it can trigger the complete erosion of humanity in many situations. That was the point that I really wanted to hammer home overall,”
