Οι Napalm Death έθεσαν σε κυκλοφορία μέσω streaming το κομμάτι "Leper Colony", το οποίο περιέχεται στο επερχόμενο άλμπουμ τους "Utilitarian", που θα κυκλοφορήσει στις 27 Φεβρουαρίου από την Century Media Records.Το "Utilitarian" πρόκεται για το 15ο άλμπουμ κατά σειρά των Βρετανών, κατά πολλούς ιδρυτές του extreme metal, ενώ η τελευταία κυκλοφορία τους ήταν το "Time Waits For No Slave" το 2009. Eκτός από την κυκλοφορία του "Utilitarian" οι Napalm Death έχουν καταστρώσει τα σχέδια τους για το 2012 που προβλέπουν εμφανίσεις στο Wacken Open Air Festival (Γερμανία) τον Αύγουστο, αλλά και στα Hellfest (Γαλλία) και Maryland Deathfest (Αμερική).
Μπορείτε να ακούσετε το "Leper Colony" εδώ. Να σημειωθεί ότι πριν λίγο καιρό οι Napalm Death είχαν παίξει σε συναυλία το κομμάτι "Quarantined" το οποίο και αυτό περιλαμβάνετε στο νέο άλμπουμ.
Ο τραγουδιστής της μπάντας Μark Greenway είχε δηλώσει για το "Utilitarian":
"After some deliberation, we have decided on 'Utilitarian' as the album title. We generally try to avoid generic titles, and this seemed to have a lot of scope to it. I won't explain the full meaning of utilitarianism here because it's an ethical theory, and as ethical theories go, the depth and debate around it is quite heavy at times. It has a certain 'morality' aspect to it and that isn't something that drives me, so I also certainly have issues with it.So, rather than just nail that straight to the mast, of course we wanted to put our own spin on it by suggesting that those who try to challenge everything, or fight against conventions, well, we go through periods of real self-doubt where we wonder if we're really making a difference. I suppose the conclusion is that, for the sake of all our freedoms, you should never stop, as even the feeling of resistance is at least a signal to those who would like to entirely control and dominate us — meaning everything from our instinctive behavior to our human entitlement to walk the earth unprovoked.Regarding the album overall, the final creases should be ironed out fairly soon, and immediately after that, we thought it would be good to top it off with a few U.K. dates. We've been playing one new song ("Quarantined") out on a tour of Canada and it's been well received, so we hope to perhaps throw in another one for now. Either way, we'll be bouncing off the walls again near you very soon."
