Following the announcement of their upcoming 15[sup]th[/sup] studio album release entitled "Apex Predator - Easy Meat" via Century Media Records for January 26[sup]th[/sup], 2015 in Europe and January 27[sup]th[/sup], 2015 in North America, British Grindcore legends NAPALM DEATH have now revealed to be touring North America together with VOIVOD as of the end of January under the "Through Space And Grind" tour-banner in promotion of the release.

NAPALM DEATH's vocalist Mark 'Barney' Greenway had this to say about the amazing tour-package co-operation: "As a celebration of both the unconventional and more straight-out methods of musical attack, I think this tour line-up really hits home. To think that 30 years ago I was marveling at the savage eccentricities of 'War and Pain' and now I'm sharing stage / living space with Snake, Away and co...surreal, almost. From NAPALM's perspective, we'll bring the overdrive to the spaciness - it's all going to rage whichever way you slice it."

VOIVOD, who released their latest album "Target Earth" in 2013 (and took a brief hiatus), are back with a new bass player and healthy vocal chords! VOIVOD are ready to bring their original style back to the stage and drummer Michel 'Away' Langevin had this to add about the upcoming tour: "I am psyched to tour North America with NAPALM DEATH, for which I always had a huge respect. We crossed path over the years and finally we'll get to unite VOIVOD's spacy Thrash Metal with NAPALM's Grindcore. A perfect combination!!"

Here is an important additional statement from NAPALM DEATH in regards to their upcoming touring activities: "Due to illness within his family, we would like to announce that Mitch Harris will unfortunately not be performing with us for the near future. We stress that this is not a permanent arrangement, although we are unsure exactly when Mitch will return under the circumstances. Naturally, we sympathise and wish Mitch all the best for now. In the meantime we will be joined by guitarists who we know can grind it out in his absence. Thanks for your understanding!"
