About this album
Scum is the ferocious breakthrough that helped define grindcore and set Napalm Death apart from the early extreme-metal pack. Released in 1987, it fused hardcore punk’s speed and rage with thrash heaviness and a raw, confrontational edge, creating a sound that would shape extreme music for years to come. Its short, violent blasts and political lyricism made tracks such as “You Suffer” and the title cut infamous, but the record’s real importance lies in how decisively it pushed metal beyond conventional song form. Widely regarded as a landmark, Scum remains one of the most influential records in extreme music.
