Napalm Death Bassist Finishes Autobiography
Napalm Death bassist, Shane Embury, has been a major figure in grindcore for more than four decades, and his story is closely tied to the history of that scene.
His upcoming biography, "Life? … & Napalm Death," takes the reader on a front seat, white-knuckle ride through the sights, sounds, places and people who’ve been central to the music and the life. Told in his own, inimitable style, this is not just the life story of Shane, but also a history of Napalm Death and the development of death metal and grindcore from their beginnings to the present.
The book is being published by Rocket 88, and is expected later this year. Find out further details by visiting shanenapalmdeathbook.com.

Venomous Concept Reveals New Album Details
Venomous Concept, the hardcore punk band formed by Kevin Sharp of Brutal Truth and Shane Embury of Napalm Death, return in 2023 with their 5th album "The Good Ship Lollipop." Bonding over their love of punk heroes such as Black Flag, GBH and Poison Idea, the duo have been the core members of the band since 2004.
Now all these years later Venomous Concept are about to release their most unique album to date on 24th February. "When the pandemic hit we decided we needed to make an album that didn’t fit - we all loved so much other kind of punk and rock, so why not explore that which is in essence closer to our hearts?. To do the same album over and over again would be boring." Shane comments.
'The Good Ship Lollipop" sees Sharp and Embury joined by fellow Napalm Death member John Cooke alongside Carl Stokes, former drummer with UK death metal legends Cancer. "Having John Cooke of Napalm Death on guitar brought a new variety to the record, and Shane’s lifelong friend Carl Stokes formerly of the bands Cancer, Current 93 & The Groundhogs came in on drums to lay down some more solid rock grooves and old school power," Kevin adds.
First single 'Voices’ is described by vocalist Kevin as a track that, "deals with the darker side of manipulation in narcissism… the devaluing of gaslighting… the wiring and unwiring of deceptive abuse… re-discovering self-identity for the better and stronger… my humour is dark… I will place the most shit of human qualities next to a melody… it’s a coping mechanism…" More...

Report
Brujeria Carves Up London
Much has been made of Brujeria over the years. Do they really believe their lyrics? Are they really Satanists? Are they really Mexican? The answers to all of these are irrelevant when you consider the main one; Are they any good? The answer is a resounding yes, especially in the live environment, where their cartel inspired brand of deathgrind gets shoved right in the ears of all in attendance, whether they wanted it or not. With ear sodomy in mind then, the band recently embarked on a headlining tour of Europe to promote their latest single, "Amaricon Czar," joined by friends Venomous Concept, Canadian thrash metal stalwarts Aggression and Californian veterans Sangre.
Opening the evening's proceedings was Pomona's own, Sangre. Having released their first album, "Carrion" in 2001, with a sophomore full length arriving ten years later, maybe the band are now gearing up to release a third in two years. The music itself is very heavy and very abrasive, something of a drooling rottweiler snapping at the faces of those polite enough to attend early enough to catch them. Their sound isn't for everyone and it's not in the running for any prizes for originality, but for those of you who like their metal a little groovy and supremely vicious, Sangre are well worth checking out.

Brujeria Announces European Tour And New Single

You can check it out below. The song sees the band once again taking a shot at American president Donald Trump, who they previously targeted with the 2016 single, "Viva Presidente Trump."
In addition, Brujeria has also announced a headlining European tour, which will see Shane Embury pulling double duty as Venomous Concept will also be on the bill, in addition to Aggression and Sangre.

Venomous Concept Covers David Bowie
The international grind/hardcore punk collective Venomous Concept has released an homage to the recently deceased David Bowie in the form of a cover of the track "Suffragette City." Give it a listen below.
Regarding the track, recorded as part of the sessions for new album "Kick Me Silly; VC 3," front man Kevin Sharp comments: "I guess I mirrored a lot from Bowie's plot. Nothing the same twice... everything looks and sounds a bit different. So we did a bit of tongue in cheek here. Music will have less color from the last few months - cancer is like that. So celebrate what you got. There is no other choice. Thanks for the songs and random direction you put life on." More...
