NAPALM DEATH - Scum · GREEN LP

Green vinyl.

Background information über 'Scum'

When Napalm Death unleashed "Scum" upon the world in 1987, they didn't just release an album – they detonated a sonic bomb that would reshape extreme music forever. This isn't just grindcore's genesis; it's the moment when punk's fury collided with metal's brutality to birth something entirely unprecedented. From the microsecond blast of "You Suffer" (literally the world's shortest song at 1.316 seconds) to the crushing weight of "Siege Of Power", every track here is a manifesto of pure, unfiltered rage against societal decay.

What makes "Scum" so revolutionary isn't just its breakneck speed or Lee Dorrian's guttural roars – it's the sheer audacity of its vision. Napalm Death took the DIY ethos of hardcore punk and weaponized it with downtuned guitars and blast beats that hit like machine gun fire. Tracks like "Multinational Corporations" and "Control" aren't just songs; they're two-minute assaults on capitalism and conformity that pack more political punch than most bands manage in entire albums. The production might be raw, but that's precisely the point – this is music stripped of pretense and polished straight to the bone.

Extreme Noise Terror, Terrorizer, Repulsion, Carcass, Brutal Truth
