Album Notes Napalm Death: Barney Greenway (vocals); Mitch Harris (guitar, background vocals); Shane Embury (bass guitar, background vocals); Danny Herrera (drums). Additional personnel: Anneke Van Giersbergen (vocals). SMEAR CAMPAIGN, the 2006 follow-up to THE CODE IS RED LONG LIVE THE CODE, finds Napalm Death working off that record's momentum by offering up another furious round of 21st-century grindcore. Recorded in the contrastingly serene Welsh countryside, the album features all of the veteran British metal band's trademarks, most notably Mark "Barney" Greenway's growling vocals and Danny Herrera's pummeling rhythms, as showcased on the fierce anti-religion screed "Fatalist."
