The Mission Creep
The Mission Creep is an EP from Napalm Death, released on 11 December 2015 through Century Media. It arrived in the same year as the band's studio album Apex Predator – Easy Meat, making it a companion piece to that record rather than a standalone statement.
It sits late in a long career that began with Scum in 1987 and From Enslavement to Obliteration in 1988, and which has carried on through Utilitarian in 2012 and Throes of Joy in the Jaws of Defeatism in 2020. For anyone following the band release by release, it fills in the story between those full-length records.
