Catalog Number: HC0589LP Format: LP UPC: 20286248620 Scour is an extreme metal supergroup featuring an impressive lineup of heavy music veterans, including Philip H. Anselmo (Pantera, Down), Derek Engemann (Philip H. Anselmo & The Illegals), John Jarvis (Nest, Agoraphobic Nosebleed), Mark Kloeppel (Misery Index), and Adam Jarvis (Pig Destroyer, Lock Up). Formed in 2015, Scour quickly made their mark with the blistering debut single "Dispatched." Their first release, The Grey EP (2016), came via Anselmo's Housecore Records, followed by The Red EP in 2017. In 2020, Scour unleashed their most aggressive effort yet, The Black EP, released under Housecore and Nuclear Blast Records, featuring guest appearances from notable figures like Erik Rutan, Pat O'Brien, and actor Jason Momoa. In 2024, Scour elevated their intensity with the announcement of their first full-length album, Gold, which includes a guest solo by Gary Holt (Slayer, Exodus). Musically, Scour blends the raw aggression of black metal with grindcore, punk, and thrash influences, creating a sound that honors extreme metal's roots while pushing it into modern territory. Their minimalist approach is relentless and brutal, with tracks like their 2019 cover of Bathory's "Massacre" perfectly embodying this vision. Despite their relatively short career, Scour has performed at some of the world's most prominent festivals, including Roskilde, Hellfest, Tecate Metal Fest, and Maryland Deathfest. With such a powerful pedigree, Scour remains a dominant force in both live performances and studio recordings, and fans can expect even more from them in the future.
