SCOUR'S GOLD RELEASED TODAY!
This is an unrelenting album hard to put into words because it's just a behemoth of sound ripping your head off. We were fortunate to highlight the band in the past and this is trump's those previous efforts by a mile. This is true blue, vomitous extreme "satanic-ish" black metal at it's best. Phil Anselmo is an ENIGMA. Obviously the past few years of extensive touring with a reformed Pantera have done nothing but strengthen his vocal chords. This is not a radio friendly, sing along album, so there is no confusion there for the Pantera/Down/Superjoint hard core fans. This isn't for the faint of heart. This isn't commercial. Despite all that, this is tasty, listenable and accessible for those of us who can withstand the cellar dwelling and dank darkness that Black Metal can reveal. Phil jumps into this genre with two hoofs strongly planted in the mirk and mire. The band grabs you by the throat and does not let go. Break neck speed and determination throughout. If you're looking for a space to take a breath enjoy the brief "Ornaments" track to change your skivvies because from there on out...sheesh.. We wont need eyes where we're going....
I don't wanna say it.... but this could be the best black album production I've heard in agessssss.
I can't say enough about this album because it is that fucking good. And why the hell shouldn't it be. Phil loves the genre, he's studied the masters and despite the success of his primary projects there is clearly as much love for this one.
SCOUR ARE
Philip H. Anselmo (Pantera, DOWN), John Jarvis (Agoraphobic Nosebleed), Derek Engemann (Philip H. Anselmo and The Illegals), Mark Kloeppel (Misery Index) and Adam Jarvis (Pig Destroyer, Lock Up)
