Melvins & Napalm Death Premiere Joint Single "Rip The God"

A second track has surfaced from the forthcoming expanded joint album by pioneering grindcore outfit Napalm Death and influential grunge/sludge metal act Melvins. The release, titled “Savage Imperial Death March,” previously appeared as a tour-exclusive during an earlier run the two bands completed together.

The album has now been updated with two additional bonus tracks along with new artwork and packaging, and is scheduled for a wider release on April 10th. One of the tracks from the record, “Rip The God,” has just received its official digital debut, streaming via YouTube and Spotify for you now below.

Napalm Death bassist/vocalist Shane Embury commented on the song:

“The opening Buzz [Osborne, Melvins vocalist/guitarist] riff begins with that classic timing – a hiccup right at the end of the riff cycle making the riff extra special! Simple yet tricky to remember… it had my head spinning when I played the bass to it – Multiply that head spin with the guitar pedal noise static we all added – God was ripped and drunk on joyful noise…”
