Sänger Barney Greenway von NAPALM DEATH hat Folgendes bezüglich der Anfang 2005 kommenden Scheibe "The Code Is Red... Long Live The Code" verkündet:
"We are currently in Foel Studios in mid-Wales (the middle of nowhere), which is actually owned by Dave Anderson who was the original bass player for HAWKWIND (before Lemmy even), which rocks, of course. Everything is working out really well, and we have tried a few different methods of working here, which have really helped my voice. I am using the microphone as I would live, which helps to really get the full roar going. Guitars are sounding heavy as anything, and as we have given ourselves just about the right time in the studio — as per usual — it helps to keep us on our toes so everything sounds pretty vital. Shane [Embury] is doing his usual tractor impressions with the bass, which is nice. We're currently at a race to the finish, so everything is starting to shape up properly with the only distraction being the mist that hangs over the valley most mornings...and the sheep! A few titles for you as we chalk 'em off... 'Instruments Of Persuasion', 'Morale', 'Striding Purposefully Backwards', 'Climate Controllers', 'Sold Short', plus of course the title track, 'The Code Is Red...Long Live The Code'. More later. Cheers.”
Erstmal werden die Engländer jedoch "Leaders Not Followers: Part 2", ihre erste CD bei Century Media, am 05. Oktober veröffentlichen. Ende Oktober und im November werden NAPALM DEATH dann mit CANNIBAL CORPSE, KATAKLYSM und GOATWHORE unterwegs sein.
