Scour Unearth New Song ‘Insuforium’ Off Upcoming First Album, Gold

SCOUR, the extreme metal brainchild of Philip H. Anselmo (Pantera, Down), has released new song ‘Infusorium’ off of their upcoming fourth release Gold, due out February 21st, 2025 via Housecore Records in North America and Nuclear Blast in Europe / Australia.

The band features an impressive lineup of heavy music veterans, including, Derek Engemann (Philip H. Anselmo & The Illegals), John Jarvis (Nest, Agoraphobic Nosebleed), Mark Kloeppel (Misery Index), and Adam Jarvis (Pig Destroyer, Misery Index, Lock Up). Musically, SCOUR fuses the raw aggression of black metal with grindcore, punk, and thrash influences and thus creates a sound that honours extreme metal’s roots while pushing it into modern territory with their progression.

On the new song, Derek shares:

“SCOUR is storming back onto the scene with our new single, ‘Infusorium,’ a relentless blend of intricate guitar work and raw, unforgiving intensity. This track raises the bar, with more intricate guitar work, and featuring a searing solo by Mark Kloeppel, undoubtedly some of his finest work that cuts straight to the core.“

“Inspired by Jon Padgett’s haunting short novel, Infusorium, the lyrics channel the story’s eerie depth and darkness, bringing a literary edge to the metal mayhem.”

After emerging in 2015, SCOUR quickly made their mark on the scene with debut song ‘Dispatched‘ which lead towards the drop of first EP Grey (2016) and afterwards came the Red EP in 2017. Fast forward to the pandemic years, in 2020, SCOUR unleashed their most aggressive EP yet on Black, released under Housecore and Nuclear Blast Records while boasting guest collabs with Erik Rutan, Pat O’Brien, and actor Jason Momoa.

Now, SCOUR elevates the intensity ten-fold with the announcement of their first full-length album, Gold, which also includes a guest solo by Gary Holt (Slayer, Exodus).
