Finnish thrash metal pioneers NATIONAL NAPALM SYNDICATE have inked a deal with Violent Journey Records. The group's new album, "Devolution Of Species", is scheduled for release on April 22. A demo version of the track "Aching Hunger" is available for streaming on the band's MySpace page.

Commented NATIONAL NAPALM SYNDICATE guitarist Jukka Kyrö: "I am happy to have signed with Violent Journey Records.
I have seen first-hand how hard the label works for their artists. It's
refreshing these days to find a label that believes totally in the
power of great honest metal music. And besides, the owner of the label
was our first singer back in 1986! So he might have a idea what we are
all about."
