Napalm Death are all set to release a very special compilation, 'Coded Smears And More Uncommon Slurs' on March 30th via Century Media Records in several different formats and the first single from the upcoming release, 'Oh So Pseudo', is out now and here it is:



Napalm Death bassist Shane Embury checked in to comment about the upcoming compilation release:

"We are very thrilled to be finally releasing this compilation of rarities and covers from the past ten years. Napalm Death is a band that gives 100% when writing a song, so the songs included on this comp were saved originally for split EP's, now sold out, or vinyl editions of our albums, or to become Japanese bonus tracks.

"When I was compiling the tracklisting I was struck by how exciting again these tunes are to me. I had actually forgotten some of them, haha!

"We have written so many tracks and the years go by so quick that you forget just how fucking great these songs are! We will most certainly be blasting a few of these out live on our upcoming shows. Cheers and see you on the road!"

'Coded Smears And More Uncommon Slurs' includes a total of thirty-one songs and has a playing time of over ninety minutes. It contains rarities and exclusive earworms spanning 2004-2016. Here's the complete tracklisting:
