Vocalist Mark &#8220;Barney&#8221; Greenway chimed in as follows in regards to the album&#8217;s title and concept:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Sometimes you have to ponder long and hard for an album title, but following the Rana Plaza disaster of last year (collapse of a textile sweatshop building in Bangladesh), it spurred me on to try and craft an expos\u00e9 of slave labour in the modern world (and the surrounding conditions propping it up).<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Some in power like to declare that slavery is consigned to the history books. But if you look beneath the surface it is alive and well in many different forms &#8211; it just has a different face now, and exists in ways that may seem ethically ambiguous. Using the terminology of evolution particularly interests us, so in this case the &#8216;Apex Predator&#8217; represents those who bring the slavery to bear (and capitalise from it), and the &#8216;Easy Meat&#8217; is of therefore those who feel they have no option but to comply.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Fittingly, the music on &#8216;Apex Predator &#8211; Easy Meat&#8217; is punishing. We feel it&#8217;s more ambient, more expansive, more unsettlingly discordant than ever, and importantly, still extremely rampant at excessive speed. We hope in every respect &#8211; both musically and lyrically &#8211; this album will make your eyes burn with the harsh sonics and harsh visions of the dumping ground of globalisation.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Some song titles already revealed are &#8220;Copulating Snakes,&#8221; &#8220;Dear Slum Landlord&#8221; (aired at Roadburn 2014), &#8220;What Is Past Is Prologue,&#8221; and &#8220;Stunt Your Growth.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, Napalm Death has recently been announced to appear at 2015&#8217;s edition of the 70,000 Tons Of Metal cruise in the Caribbean (Florida \/ Jamaica) from January 22nd to 26th alongside bands like Arch Enemy, Behemoth, Blind Guardian, Cannibal Corpse, Municipal Waste and many more.
