Time Waits for No Slave

Time Waits for No Slave was recorded between August and October 2008 in two studios. The drums were tracked at Parlour Studios in Kettering, England, and the guitars, bass and vocals at Foel Studios in Wales, after which the band went back to Parlour to mix and master the record. The production is credited to Russ Russell and Napalm Death together, with Russell recording and engineering it and Chris Fielding assisting. The line-up is the same four as on the two previous albums: Barney Greenway on vocals, Mitch Harris on guitar, Shane Embury on bass and Danny Herrera on drums. Embury and Mitch Harris wrote the music of seven songs each. Greenway wrote most of the lyrics, while Embury and Mitch Harris supplied the words for a few songs of their own. The Code Is Red...Long Live the Code and Smear Campaign had brought in guest singers; the credits of this one name none. The title track got a video, made in Norwich in the east of England. Century Media's schedule put the album out in stages: in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, the Benelux countries and Italy in late January 2009, across the rest of Europe over the next few days, and in Britain and the United States in February. The limited digipak, 9978458, adds "Suppressed Hunger" and "Omnipresent Knife in Your Back" for sixteen tracks, and the LP, 9978451, came with a CD of the same sixteen. In Britain the album reached number 13 on the Rock & Metal Albums Chart. The running order here is the fourteen tracks of the standard CD, 9978452, titled as printed.
