Napalm Death have shared "Oh So Pseudo," a searing earworm previously exclusive to deluxe editions of the grindcore pioneer's 2014 studio effort, Apex Predator – Easy Meat. Recorded during sessions for the aforementioned LP, the ripper is one of 31 crushing tracks included on Coded Smears and More Uncommon Slurs, the band's forthcoming, two-disc rarities compilation collecting one-offs and covers originally recorded between 2004 and 2016. Previously, the band dropped "Nurse the Hunger," a never-before-heard cut pressed to flexidisc for Decibel's Napalm Death-themed issue last month. (The song, which was also penned during the Apex Predator – Easy Meat sessions, is not included on Coded Smears and More Uncommon' Slurs.)
"Napalm Death is a band that gives 100 percent when writing a song, so the songs included on this comp were saved originally for split EPs that are now sold out, or vinyl editions of our albums, or to become Japanese bonus tracks," Napalm Death Shane Embury says of the upcoming trove. "When I was compiling the track listing, I was struck by how exciting again these tunes are to me — I had actually forgotten some of them! We have written so many tracks, and the years go by so quick that you forget just how fucking great these songs are!"
Coded Slurs and More Uncommon Slurs hits shelves March 30th via Century Media. You can pre-order it here, and read on for the album artwork and track list.
