U.S.A's Scour have returned with a new recording which shows the music going for a raw mixture of black, death metal, grindcore and punk and this is a review of their 2025 album "Gold" which will be released in February as a joint effort between Nuclear Blast and Housecore Records.
A very fast and raw sound starts off the album along with a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats. Vocals bring in a mixture of high pitched black metal screams and death metal growls along with the solos and leads also being done in a very chaotic yet melodic style and t he back up shouts also add in a touch of punk.
At times the music also captures the brutality of death metal and grindcore while some of the riffing also adds in a small amount of dark sounding melodies. Throughout the recording you can also hear a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts along with some tracks also adding in a small amount of spoken words, when synths are introduced onto the album they also capture the atmosphere of a classic horror film and they also add in a couple of instrumentals.
On this recording Scour takes a very raw form of black metal and mixes it with death metal, grindcore and punk to create a very brutal recording. The production sounds very raw and heavy while the lyrics cover horror and occultism themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Scour and if you are a fan of raw black, death metal, grindcore and punk, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Cross" "Coin" "Invoke" and "Serve'. 8 out of 10.
