Scum

Scum is one of those so-called supergroups that sprout up from time to time, featuring (in this case) four Norwegians and an American aiming to do something outside their day jobs. The biggest name here is Samoth of Emperor and Zyklon fame, but the others feature in such diverse bands as Amen, Mindgrinder, and Turbonegro. And Gospels Of The Sick sounds like none of these bands, going for a raw, thrashy punk sound (the punk vocals courtesy of Casey Chaos of Amen), short on technicality or variation but high on energy and attitude. Based purely on relevance to metal, Gospels is a borderline record, but the band's pedigree is reason enough to include them here, and those into the punkier side of metal might like this. This looks to be a one-off project.
