Scum by Napalm Death

Scum is a Metal album by Napalm Death, originally released in 1987. On Gatefold: 95 pressings tracked, owned by 14 collectors.

About

With their bilious debut, UK sonic reducers Napalm Death set about rudely destroying the concept of metal. Drawing on elements of death metal and punk, <i>Scum</i> is a maelstrom of breakneck blast beats, guttural screams, and abrasive riffs intent on causing real damage. “Control” and “Sacrificed” sound like speakers splitting, while “You Suffer” is officially the shortest punk song ever, clocking in at just 0:04. This is no less than some of the gnarliest music ever committed to tape.
