Legendary UK grindcore band Napalm Death are currently working on a new album. Titled Time Waits For No Slave, the band has been working with producer Russ Russell, and expects the new album to surface in early 2009 via Century Media Records. Bassist Shane Embury also recently spoke with Suite101.com about the band's upcoming thirteenth full-length studio album.

We've got about seventeen songs together," Embury said. "I guess it's moving on again from the last album. It's still very fast and hopefully heavy. There's a couple of strange kind of moments in the music, with a little more experimentation and a little more discordance in the guitar perhaps.

The band's last output was 2006's Smear Campaign.
