Scour-Gold. FFO: Uncompromising extreme metal.

Straight up and exactly the same as when I reviewed this band's earlier EP, I made it perfectly clear I have no love for Pantera and that I think they suck balls and the hype is unwarranted. I also think Phil is a douchebag because there is no excuse for any n@zi salutes etc and I don't really care about any explanations of it. That put to the side, I think Scour is definitely where he is vocally best and the music matches the sheer aggression on this. The music and focus is on a mix of raw black metal, early grindcore and hardcore punk. This album rips hard because not only does the songwriting show how talented this band is, but the mood across the album is foreboding and downright fucking nasty. It just propels mad tempos, pissed off vocals and wild riffs into a thunderstorm and the hellscape they create is amazing.It takes really solid extreme metal influences and creates a very focused and stunning end product.Well Recommended.
