Napalm Death and Heaven Shall Burn have announced they ill releasing a new 7″ titled “The Mission Creep” on December 11th through Century Media with pre-orders found at this location.
The vinyl only release will see two previously unreleased songs from the bands. Napalm Death will release “An Extract (Strip It Clean)”, while Heaven Shall Burn will release “Battle Of Attrition”.
Napalm Death frontman Mark “Barney” Greenway commented:
“Split recordings are a great opportunity to explore something a little different, and with the voice that Heaven Shall Burn have out there in the world, we thought it was a nice route down which to spread our own tentacles of music and ideas. The convergence of ideas between our two bands on the design side of the EP was quite seamless, so as good a meeting of minds as there should be.”
Heaven Shall Burn on the other hand offered the following collective statement:
“It is a huge honour for us to be releasing this split 7″ EP. It not only is the first 7” inHeaven Shall Burn‘s career, but also shared with a band that has been an influence on all levels of our band’s development. Napalm Death have been a constant inspiration and will always remain innovators. We are as happy as young kids, again! Our song “Battle Of Attrition” deals with the happenings on the battlegrounds of Flanders from more than a 100 years ago and the unfortunately repeating tragedies for all Nations, which are misled into devastating war scenarios.”
