UK Grindcore pioneers NAPALM DEATH are now launching a video clip for the opening track “Standardization” off their special 2CD, 2LP and Digital Download compilation “Coded Smears And More Uncommon Slurs”, recently released via Century Media Records.
 
Check out the video clip for “Standardization”, which was created by Costin Chioreanu / Twilight 13 Media here: https://youtu.be/FNlWLtZMvko
 
NAPALM DEATH vocalist Mark “Barney“ Greenway checked in with the following comment about the clip: “Videos I find one of the trickiest mediums to make vibrant and impactful. Costin, the producer though, had a lot of stuff from our Roadburn Festival presentation which seemed to fit the music quite nicely and reflect the song’s subject matter about the utter despair of a colourless life and desire of more conservative forces for a homogenous world according to gender, sexuality, human habits and, well, generally everything. No thanks!”
