Pioneering grindcore outfit Napalm Death and legendary grunge/sludge metal act Melvins have unveiled a second track from their upcoming joint album.

The extended eight-track record, featuring new artwork, packaging, and two additional bonus tracks, is set for wide release on April 10 after initially appearing as a tour-exclusive during the bands' prior run together.

The newly shared track, "Rip The God", highlights the experimental edge of the collaboration.

Speaking about the song, Shane Embury, bassist and vocalist for Napalm Death, explained: β€œThe opening [Buzz Osborne] riff begins with that classic timing – a hiccup right at the end of the riff cycle making the riff extra special!” Savage Imperial Death March features eight tracks and will be released on CD, digital platforms, and four limited-edition vinyl variants.

A stripped-down version of the album previously appeared as a hyper-limited vinyl/CD release during the bands' 2025 tour, but this full edition includes new artwork by Mackie Osborne and two additional tracks, "Awful Handwriting" and "Comparison Is The Thief Of Joy." Pre-orders are available now Link.
